Chance Favors the Prepared Mind – Tezzo Nishizawa

This book is the first to present the collected works of architect Tezzo Nishizawa, known for his designs of art exhibitions as well as museums and residences. Introducing thirty projects in these three genres, the book begins with a series of photographs that illustrate the unique perspective and philosophy linking these works, followed by detailed plans and commentaries on each project. In his postscript, the architect touches on the relationship between exhibition layouts and architectural design, as well the reasons for his interest in collaborative design. The images and drawings on these pages richly reveal the exquisite architectural methodology and thought that sustain Nishizawa’s work.
