His studies of 17th-18th-century wooden buildings document minimalist, grid-based structures using stark black-and-white photographs, some color photographs and numerous line drawings. His book, highly prized in terms of design and content, contributed significantly to introducing Japanese aesthetics to Western architecture, art and graphics. Mies van der Rohe, for example, gave it to many of his friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reprint is enriched by a text on the history of the book by Christian Blaser, Werner Blaser's son, a contribution by Inge Andritz on Mies van der Rohe and Japanese architecture, and a personal afterword by Tadao And.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWerner Blaser\u003c\/strong\u003e (1924-2019), architect \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInge Andritz\u003c\/strong\u003e, Mies specialist \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTadao Ando, \u003c\/strong\u003e Pritzker laureate \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristian W.
