Overview

'Kazuyo Sejima & Ryue Nishizawa: SANAA' is the stunning updated and expanded monograph on the work of Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, who founded architectural practice SANAA in 1995, and whose buildings include The New Museum, New York, and Christian Dior building in Tokyo. SANAA's profile has recently been raised to new heights by Sejima's role as director of the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2010 and by the practice's winning of the Pritzker Architecture Prize the same year. In its citation, the jury praised SANAA's 'refined compositions of lightness and transparency and its 'simultaneously delicate and powerful' architecture.
