The result is this book, \u003ci\u003eThe Nordic Window\u003c\/i\u003e—the first ever publication on the topic. Here, Tsukamoto and his students at the Tokyo Institute of Technology analyse a long list of canonical projects from the Nordic architectural tradition through beautiful photographs and elaborate drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis approach emphasises both the physical elements of the window, but also the more ephemeral aspects such as behaviour and atmosphere. This book is a study into how the design of windows is shaped by different cultures and social contexts. The fascination and tenderness shine through the text, while it presents a unique perspective on the architectural tradition that we are so familiar with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough this exquisite example of Japanese craftsmanship, we are invited to see the Nordic architecture through the eyes of an acclaimed Japanese architect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46833699684588,"sku":"9788792596031","price":100.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16529093485318.jpg?v=1758475626","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-nordic-window-by-yoshiharu-tsukamoto-9788792596031","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
