{"product_id":"shuhei-endo-paramodern-architecture","title":"Shuhei Endo: Paramodern Architecture","description":"\u003cp\u003eJapanese architect Shuhei Endo can be defined as an architect of steel, since he distinctly favors this material in the buildings he designs, continually experimenting with its infinite possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis works are apparently weightless and communicate a sense of liberty: undulating sheets of steel are twisted into spirals and wrapped around buildings in overlapping layers, like petals of flowers, or arranged on different levels to create a membrane around open spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis approach is most evident in the \"great roofs\" that house Endo-designed offices, such as Rooftecture N (Nisinomiya, Hyogo, 1998), or spaces for relaxation and meetings, such as Rooftecture T (Fukui, 1997), as well as private homes, such as Springtecture H (Harima, 1998) and Rooftecture M (Maruoka, 2001).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1960 in Shiga Prefecture, Japan, he graduated in 1986 from the Kyoto School of Art and then joined the Osamu Ishii \u0026amp; Biken Associates architectural studio. In 1988 he founded the Shuhei Endo Institute in Osaka and began teaching at Kinki University, Kobe Design University, and the Fukui Institute of Technology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hiroyuki Suzuki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47411041796265,"sku":"9781904313144","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9781904313144.jpg?v=1788320477","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/shuhei-endo-paramodern-architecture","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
