Sejima & Nishizawa. 1990-2017' gathers the complete oeuvre of Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa over almost three decades of work of the three studios they lead in Tokyo, and that has produced prominent buildings like the Zollverein School of Design in Essen, the Rolex Center in Lausanne, the Louvre-Lens Museum, or their recent center for the Grace Farms Foundation in Connecticut. With articles by Luis Fernández-Galiano and the architects themselves, this monograph examines the principles and methods behind the seeming simplicity of the work of the two Japanese architects, and unveils the keys to the radicalness of their architecture, extremely light and immaterial.
