Stillness - Norm Architects

An Exploration of Japanese Aesthetics in Architecture and Design

At once an ode to Japan, a personal travelogue, and an aesthetic manifesto, Stillness takes readers on Norm Architects' decade-long journey of travel, study and creative collaboration with Japan.

Stillness is an exploration of Japanese aesthetics in architecture and design from a Scandinavian perspective. Across the seas, two distant regions have developed similar approaches to design and architecture that share a respect for nature, a sensitivity to light, and a dedication to craft.⁠

The book features richly illustrated dispatches from visits to Japanese landscapes, architecture and cultural sites, shedding light on the influence Japanese traditions have had on the studio’s contemporary projects, such as the Äng restaurant in Sweden or Heatherhill Beach House in Denmark.

Juxtaposing images from Japan with Norm Architects’ work, the book highlights the centuries-old connections between the distinct design cultures, emphasizing mutual respect and shared philosophies. Commentary from expert collaborators provides in-depth understanding into key design principles throughout the book. 

From Norm Architects: "The profound beauty of stillness seen in Japanese aesthetics is at once familiar and foreign. On one hand it feels like home and resonates with the melancholic simplicity of our Scandinavian culture – the still atmosphere of a Japanese garden or tearoom is not far from the stillness you can experience looking at the empty spaces painted by Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi. On the other hand, the rich cultural tapestry of Japanese architecture, crafts and gardens embodies a profound harmony between the self and the surroundings that is not found in Scandinavian design."
