Product Description

Gestalten’s Stillness is a tribute to Japanese traditions and their influence on Norm Architects’ contemporary designs. Featuring images that contrast Japanese landscapes and architecture with the studio’s own works, such as the Äng restaurant in Sweden and the Heatherhill Beach House in Denmark, the book explores the centuries-old connections between these two design cultures. Commentary from contributors who are experts in both regions provides a deeper understanding of key design principles. Stillness is an ode to Japan, a personal travelogue, and an aesthetic manifesto that documents Norm Architects’ decade-long journey to understand one of the world’s most revered creative cultures.
