Stillness, Book

Stillness offers a richly illustrated look at visits to Japanese landscapes, architecture and cultural sites, revealing the influence that Japanese traditions have had on the contemporary projects of Norm Architects.such as the Äng restaurant in Sweden and the Heatherhill Beach House in Denmark.

By juxtaposing images of Japan with the work of Norm Architects, the book highlights the centuries-old connections between the distinct design cultures, emphasising mutual respect and shared philosophies. Commentary from expert contributors in both regions offers an in-depth understanding of fundamental design principles. At once a tribute to Japan, a personal travelogue and an aesthetic manifesto, Stillness takes readers on Norm's decade-long journey in his quest to understand one of the world's most revered creative cultures.
