Inagawa Cemetery Chapel and Visitor Centre Designed by David Chipperfield
Edited by Olivia Lawrence Bright, Chinatsu Kuma, Cecilia Sundström. Text by David Chipperfield. Conversation with David Chipperfield, Hideyuki Osawa, Thomas Struth. Photographs by Risaku Suzuki.
Chipperfield’s new chapel in Japan, in sumptuous photography and textual material
This book presents David Chipperfield’s new architectural work realized in Japan, a contemporary place for prayer. The primary material will be photography: Risaku Suzuki’s work documents the architecture, which is in constant dialogue with the surrounding landscape of Inagawa, over four alternating seasons. Her camera conveys the visitor’s experience of the architecture in time and space, rather than an objectified image of a static piece of work. The photographic journey of the Chapel and the Visitor Centre will be followed by an essay written by the architect and stories behind the scene: the parallel processes of collaborations with client, with constructors and engineers, and designers for the exceptional gardens or handmade screens. The buildings are as much the outcome of innovative architectural thinking with deference to the Japanese sensitivity as a technical breakthrough for construction.
