This volume celebrates Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi by presenting nine of his museum designs, from the renovation and expansion of The Museum of Modern Art - Taniguchi's only museum to be built outside of Japan - to projects in Tokyo, Kyoto, and throughout his native country. Taniguchi's museums are central to understanding his approach to architecture. Distinctly modern, each design is marked by a rich materiality, a respect for pure geometry, and a commitment to the art of building.
Yoshio Taniguchi: Nine Museums is the first critical assessment of the architect's achievements. The book unfolds chronologically, starting with his first independent museum, the 1978 Shiseido Museum of Art, and ends with his Centennial Hall, which will be part of the Kyoto National Museum upon its completion in 2007. An essay by Terence Riley, The Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art, contextualizes the many threads that inform Taniguchi's work, including his early education at Harvard, his development as an architect during the movement toward a new urbanism in the 1960s, and the unfolding of a vocabulary of forms that is distinctly his own.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 204 pages. The Museum of Modern Art is now in the midst of the largest building project in its history. Designed by Yoshio Taniguchi, the new Museum will reopen in midt own Manhattan in winter 2004-05 to coincide with its 75th anniversary. The 630,0 00-square-foot Museum will be nearly twice the size of the former facility, offe ring dramatically expanded and redesigned spaces for exhibitions, public program ming, educational outreach, and scholarly research. But The Museum of Modern Art is not Taniguchi's first museum, though it is his first museum in the United St ates. The architect has been designing museums in his native Japan since 1978. I n celebration of the opening of the new MoMA building, the Museum is publishing this book about Taniguchi's museums--nine in all. They include the Tokyo Nationa l Museum, Marugami Museum of Contemporary Art, Nagano Art Museum, Ken Domon Muse um of Photography, and Shiseido Art Museum. For the Higashiyama Kaii Gallery in Nagano, Taniguchi situated a display space for the works of painter Kaii Higashi yama next to a reflecting pool and garden. In the Toyota Municipal Museum of Art , built on the old castle site of Komoro City, Taniguchi expressed the history a nd distinct nature of the place by affording views to both the new city and the historic area. Finally, the Marugame Genichiro-Inokuma Museum of Contemporary Ar t, situated across from the city's railway station, was designed to include a pl aza that connects the museum with the station. Taniguchi: Nine Museums will disc uss the plans of each of these museums with an emphasis on The Museum of Modern Art's new building. Codice articolo 5537b
