Book | Stillness

AN EXPLORING JAPANESE AESTHETICS IN ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN

The book contains richly illustrated accounts of journeys through Japanese landscapes, architecture and cultural sites, and highlights the influence of Japanese traditions on the studio's contemporary projects, such as the ÄNG restaurant in Sweden or the Heatherhill Beach House in Denmark.

By juxtaposing images from Japan with works by Norm Architects, the book reveals the centuries-old connections between the different design cultures and emphasizes mutual respect and shared design philosophies. Contributions from expert partners in both regions provide a deeper understanding of key design principles.

Simultaneously a tribute to Japan, a personal travelogue and an aesthetic manifesto, Stillness takes readers along on Norm's decades-long journey as she sought to understand one of the world's most respected creative cultures.
