About

Klein Dytham Architecture Synopsis

Klein Dytham architecture: To Tokyo and Beyond celebrates the Tokyo-based studio famous for its playful yet thoughtful approach to design. This comprehensive monograph explores 76 projects from KDa's impressive body of award-winning, multidisciplinary work from across Japan, Thailand, Italy, the United States, and the United Kingdom.  Blending humour, experimentation, and respect for tradition, these projects range from early works, such as Daikanyama T-SITE in Tokyo and Open House in Bangkok, to more recent works, including the Fender flagship store in Tokyo and a Japanese cypress façade for the Cartier boutique in Osaka. Also highlighted are the studio's contributions to global cultural phenomena like PechaKucha Night, and how KDa's innovative ideas intertwine with the cultural, social, and architectural fabric of Japan. Thought-provoking narratives explore KDa's creative process and philosophy, while stunning full-colour photography captures the bold and vibrant aesthetics emblematic of KDa's style. From camouflaging forty-story towers in an alpine resort to transforming a commercial building with intricate, openwork cladding, KDa's designs have a sense of whimsy that brings joy and curiosity to architecture enthusiasts and observers alike.
