Japanese Architecture as a Collaborative Process; Opportunities in a Flexible Construction Culture

Editorial Reviews Review "Dana Buntrock describes the history and set-up of the Japanese building industry as seen from an American perspective. This makes for a very interesting book. - John Winter, Architectural Review, May 2002."
Book Description

This well-researched book on architectural practice in Japan looks closely at all aspects of the design and construction processes and carefully considers the pros and cons that arise for each specific Japanese approach. The author considers the economic and legal context in which the construction industry in Japan performs and explains each consequence. Japan offers a very different model, where architects, contractors, and manufacturers share knowledge and expertise. The discussion is not limited to aesthetic issues; the role of the architect within the construction team is discussed at length and the book will be a valuable contribution to he literature on design methods.
