“Though he never raised a building, photographer and editor Yukio Futagawa [was a key figure] of modern architecture in Japan. Born in 1932 in Osaka, where he studied architecture and took an interest in vernacular construction and classicism, [he drew] unexpected links between Japanese tradition and western modernity. This encouraged him to dedicate his career entirely to photography, and led to the 10-volume Traditional Japanese Houses, published throughout the 1950s, and which became a monumental effort to document Japan’s classical past at a time when it was threatened by developmentalism. The project was followed in the next decades by shoots of modern architecture in Japan: buildings by Tange, Ando, Kurokawa, Kikutake; collabs w historians like Christian Norberg-Schulz or Kenneth Frampton; and… they the huge work of photographing the complete oeuvre of Frank Lloyd Wright when he was at the helm of Global Architecture (GA), which he founded in 1970.”
