Japanese architecture and design takes into account not only the degree of tolerance of the envi ronment but also the weight of demands by the client to produce．in te rms of both quality and quantity，a veritable kaleidoscope of sophisticated design on a level unparalleled in history．

A look at the next generation of architects and interior reveals a group that，while operating in a field createdby those bo rn before the 1950s，consists primarily of designers born in the Sixties，joined by the younger generation frOm the Seventies．It is easy to imagine how they will forge ahead to produce a tide of new architectural design．

A beautifully illustrated publication，Japan：The New Mix femurs spectacular designs by some of the country’s most visionary architects and interior designers，including those who have been attracting attention not only in Japan but internationally．Twenty—one of the country's stop architects and designers，both natives and those foreigners who have chosen to make Japan their home，were selected to present either their most recognized or recent projects that best represent their styles．Together，the collection offers a visual feast．Young architects and interior designers born during the 1 60s form the core of the selection．but the book also features works by promising young architects and designers born in the 1970s．Each chapter features a portrait of the architect or designer and their theory and approach to design，plus projects that illustrate each designer。s highly individual styles．Delving deeply into what defines(and also why onebecomes)an architect or interior designer，this inspirational，insightful，and intelligent publication will not only be of interest to architects and interior designers，but also to university students，architecture apprentices，and all those fascinated by the new fusion of architecture and interior design in Japan．With striking visuals，thought—provoking text，and amazing names，Japan：The New Mix will leave you with a lasting impression of Japanese design long after you close it．
