## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A great book that does justice to its subject matter.
  

*by J***F on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 27, 2013*

Going into this book I knew very little about the metabolist movement in architecture. I found that the format of quickly alternating interviews and history pieces kept me engaged and interested as a reader. Well-chosen photos and graphics illustrate the text tastefully. The interviews with metabolist architects were great, and managed to not only record the important history and facts about metabolist architecture, but also gave insight into the personal lives, career development, and group dynamic of these Japanese architects who all contributed to the movement in different ways.As a designer I can relate to the metabolist's desire for architecture to play a role in solving the many complex problems in a rapidly changing world. Only by working together to advance the architecture profession in Japan were they able to achieve some level of success. With the focus today so much on the individuality of each famous designer, it is refreshing to read about this not-so-distant movement that happened because of a group of individuals working toward a common way of thinking. I have not come across any other books that describe the process of a movement taking shape quite like this book does. It goes to great lengths to provide as many viewpoints as possible from the people who were there when it happened. It is an architecture book that is also about how these architects interacted with their world to promote their vision.It feels like a large amount of respect and care went into the making of this book. Rem Koolhaas and Hans Ulrich Obrist clearly knew that the metabolist movement in architecture has tremendous historical importance and a serious lack of recorded historical documentation. They did a wonderful job compiling and presenting all the information in this book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    to those architectures forgotten by us and buried in silence by other urban junks
  

*by T***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 17, 2020*

OMA has trash publications (especially those studies done by koolhaas and gsd), but this one is really of historical value and full of touching details

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book not just for architects
  

*by A***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 14, 2019*

So educational and enriching to read. You don't have to be an architect, you don't have to have some ties to Japan - it's a great book if you are a curious open-minded person.
