This volume examines the Japanese Pavilion designed by Junzō Sakakura for the 1937 Paris International Exposition, a landmark project that received the Grand Prix in architecture. Celebrated for its synthesis of traditional Japanese architectural principles and the ideals of modernism, the pavilion became a defining early achievement in Sakakura’s career.

The book reconstructs the pavilion through original drawings, archival writings by Sakakura, contemporary critical responses, and detailed project data. It also features a BIM (Building Information Modeling)–based digital reconstruction, offering new insights into the structure’s spatial logic and design methodology. Concise yet meticulously documented, the publication serves as a key reference for understanding Sakakura’s role in shaping Japan’s architectural presence on the international stage.
