This book focuses solely on the Shonandai cultural centre, the first major public project of Itsuko Hasegawa. In Shonandai, Hasegawa sought to 'overcome' modernism, which the building achieves in the most outlandish way, possible perhaps only in Japan in the 1980s. This is where the 1960s techno-avant-garde comes full circle.
The building is presented with photographs by Stefano Graziani, as well as technical drawings.
This book is part of the Everything without Content series by Kersten Geers, Jelena Pancevac and Joris Kritis.
