Notes

Written by one of the founders of the Metabolist Movement, Kisho Kurokawa (1934-2007) here 'outlines Japan's cultural background and its debt to Buddhism, showing how this is vital to his work, and develops traditional concepts, such as engawa -- "in between" space -- into a system of value to contemporary architects'.
