Herzog
& De Meuron: Prada Aoyama Tokyo
In the Aoyama district of Tokyo, a mixed-use neighborhood
of low-rise buildings where not a square meter of land has been left unoccupied,
the Swiss architecture team of Herzog & de Meuron has built a new store
for Prada. In this chunky, silvery book, they meticulously illustrate the
creative process that led to the realization of "a house and a plaza,"
a tall and narrow kaleidoscope-like structure that houses a two-story retail
space and multiple levels of offices, backed by an outdoor space for the
public--a rarity in crowded Tokyo... ©Amazon.com |
