In 2008, Sugimoto and the architect Tomoyuki Sakakida founded the New Material Research Laboratory, an architectural firm that researches and develops “new materials” from known materials and techniques by applying a different approach and interpretation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Laboratory’s aim is to rethink the use of old materials passed on to us from ancient times, the Middle Ages and the modern period. It advocates for a reconnection of the present with a bygone era, and to extend that connection to the future through architecture. Old Is New delves into the art and architecture, as well as the archaeological philosophy and contemporary practice, of the New Material Research Laboratory. Richly illustrated, the book shows the choice of materials for each project. The photographs in itself are compositions, presenting scenes that show a balance of the present and past. Sugimoto and Sakakida, discussing their practice and approach, wrote the principal texts of this volume. Additional text contributions delve into the origin of the laboratory’s design ethos rooted in Japanese tradition and aesthetics and their historical context. The book also includes an annotated index of materials and classical Japanese techniques with information drawn from the laboratory’s research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-book-webshop-involved field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith photographs by Hiroshi Sugimoto\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith contributions by Hiroshi Sugimoto, Tomoyuki Sakakida, New Material Research Laboratory\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign: Integral Lars Müller\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-book-webshop-features field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e17,2 × 24 cm, 6 ¾ × 9 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e400 pages, 202 illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ehardback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2021, 978-3-03778-646-8, English\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-Accordion\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRETURNS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within 21 days of delivery.
