Stillness

After more than a decade of travel, study and creative collaboration with Japan, the internationally acclaimed architectural firm "Norm Architects" shares its uniquely Scandinavian take on Japanese aesthetics in the bonkers coffee-table book "Stillness: An Exploration of Japanese Aesthetics in Architecture and Design.

The book includes richly illustrated accounts of visits to Japanese landscapes, architecture and cultural sites, shedding light on the influence Japanese traditions have had on the studio's contemporary projects, such as the Äng restaurant in Sweden or Heatherhill Beach House in Denmark.

By juxtaposing images from Japan with the work of Norm Architects, the book highlights the age-old connections between the different design cultures and emphasizes mutual respect and shared philosophies. Commentary by expert contributors from both regions offers deep insight into key design principles. Simultaneously an ode to Japan, a personal travelogue and an aesthetic manifesto, Stillness takes readers on Norm's decade-long journey to understand one of the world's most respected creative cultures.
