COVER
THE KAWAYAKYU Hotel, Shiraha-ma, Japan, is unique. The use of shapes and forms in its creation challenged the visual senses and tested the skills of designers, manufacturers and craftsmen from many parts of the world. Since the 1923 Tokyo earthquake, brick hadn't featured strongly in Japanese architecture, but that was to change when it was decided to use brickwork as the main cladding material for the unique hotel complex. After extensive research to find a brickmaker capable of producing the many unique brick types on a tight deadline, the design team settled on Ibstock Building Products, Leicestershire, England, who handled materialization of the architect's image into brick, from design analysis to reproduction. General contractor for the earthquake-proof structure was the Dutch technical firm I.B.S.S. Bricklayer was Takayama-san of Japan. Architect was Yuzo Nagata, Osaka, Japan, who said of the project "With this great experiment in Japan as a start. I shall always search for new possibilities for the use of brick in future projects."
