Binding: Hardcover
Description: A collection of writings that sets out Kengo Kuma's theories of architecture but also a left field critique of where the architecture world finds itself today. Kengo Kuma is one of Japan's leading architects and Professor Emeritus at the University of Tokyo. Widely known as a prolific writer and philosopher he proposes architecture that opens up new relationships between nature technology and human beings. Through a series of thought - provoking essays he unveils his vision of architecture as a dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation critiquing the megastructures and capitalist influences of the 20th century and challenging readers to reconsider the role of architecture in shaping our world. Drawing from diverse disciplines including art history philosophy and literature Kuma crafts a narrative that transcends the boundaries of traditional architectural theory presenting a compelling manifesto for a new era of design one that dismantles hard concrete volumes into points lines and planes that celebrate the simplicity and sustainability of human connection.
