Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, A Japanese Constellation focuses on the work of a small group of architects and designers influenced by and gravitating around the architect Toyo Ito and the architectural firm SANAA. Beginning with an overview of Ito’s career and his influence as a mentor to a new generation of Japanese architects, the catalogue presents a richly illustrated portfolio of recent works by three generations of internationally acclaimed designers, including Sou Fujimoto, Akihisa Hirata and Junya Ishigami. A Japanese Constellation reveals a network of influence and cross-pollination that has become particularly relevant at the start of the 21st century. Essays by curators, architectural historians and critics reflect on the transmission of an architectural sensibility, and suggest an alternative model to what has been commonly described as an individuality-based "star-system" in architecture. Offering a panorama of interlinked, settled or up-and-coming stars, the publication reveals how shared architectural themes travel across generations of architects, creating a strong identity for a regional practice with global impact. 在现代艺术博物馆(museum of modern art)的一次展览中,一个日本星座(constellation)展示了一小群受伊东丰雄(toyo ito)和萨那建筑事务所(sanaa)影响和吸引的建筑师和设计师的作品。展览以伊藤的事业及他作为新一代日本建筑师的导师所带来的影响为起点,展示三代享誉国际的设计师,包括藤本次郎、平田秋久及石上纯也的近作。日本的星座揭示了一个影响力和交叉授粉的网络,这在21世纪初尤其重要。策展人、建筑历史学家和评论家的文章,反映了建筑感性的传播,并提出了一种替代模式,来代替通常被描述为建筑中基于个性的“星系”。该出版物呈现了一幅由相互关联、定居或正在成长的明星组成的全景图,揭示了不同时代的建筑师如何共享建筑主题,为具有全球影响力的地区实践创造了强大的身份认同
