By Rem Koolhaas and Hans Ulrich Obrist
Having wandered the ruins of Hiroshima, Tokyo and other Japanese cities after WW II, The Metabolists – four architects, a critic, an industrial designer and a graphic designer – showed with the launch of their manifesto Metabolism 1960 how they would employ biological systems (aided by Japan's massive advances in technology) as inspiration for buildings and cities that could change and adapt to the vicissitudes of modern life. Units could be added or removed from buildings like Kisho Kurokawa’s Capsule Tower in Toky o as required; buildings themselves could be added or removed from cities at will in the cell-like master-plans of Fumihiko Maki .
Project Japan features a series of vivid, empathetic conversations, replete with surprising connections and occasional clashes between Koolhaas and Obrist and their subjects. The story that unfolds is illuminated, contradicted and validated by commentaries from a broad range their forebearers, associates, critics, and progeny, including Toyo Ito and Charles Jencks.
Interspersed with the interviews and commentary are hundreds of never-before-seen images : master-plans from Manchuria to Tokyo, intimate snapshots of the Metabolists at work and play, architectural models, magazine excerpts and astonishing sci-fi urban visions. Presented in a clear chronology from the tabula rasa of a colonized Manchuria in the 1930s; a devastated Japan after the war; to the establishment of Metabolism at the 1960 World Design Conference; to the rise of Kisho Kurokawa as the first celebrity architect; to the apotheosis of the movement at Expo '70 in Osaka.
Koolhaas and Obrist unearth a history that casts new light on the key issues that both enervate and motivate architecture today: celebrity and seriousness, sustainability and monumentality, globalization, government participation (and abdication), and the necessity for architecture to reach beyond its traditional boundaries in order to embrace the future.

評分Koolhas really edited a lot
評分丹下和他的弟子們,庫哈斯野心挺大。(安藤書屋這種盜版的精神讓人想起早年那些盜版DVD發燒友。(豆瓣早就該開發一個「隨手翻過」功能。
評分作為資料書來看不錯……排版不錯……想揉進去的東西太多瞭,根本不止新陳代謝。不如改名叫《丹下和他的弟子們》好瞭。庫哈斯對媒體的關注未減,更全書內容更加可以驗證一句話叫做時勢造英雄,我們讀著這些國傢蓬勃發展時的信心膨脹的光榮,到底有多少實際的藉鑒意義呢。中國即使再照著日本的腳步發展,那個科技進步全民樂觀的時代也已經一去不迴瞭。當然,更加關注實際的、技藝的、人文的,其實應該是一件好事。從這個角度來看,藤本真的算是今天東大係碩果僅存的一個空想傢瞭。先鋒會招緻先鋒的非議。而理論傢們的口味篩選齣來的曆史,是隻保留一個美麗的標本的。
評分庫哈斯的洞察力和時代的力量
