Specifications
A collection of writings presenting the architectural theories of Kengo Kuma, as well as an exceptionally candid critique of the current state of the architectural world. Kengo Kuma is one of Japan's leading architects and an Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo. Known as a prolific writer and philosopher, he proposes an architecture that opens new relationships between nature, technology, and people. Through a series of provocative essays, he reveals his vision for architecture as a dynamic interaction between tradition and innovation, critiquing the megastructures and capitalist influences of the 20th century, challenging readers to rethink 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 deconstructs harsh concrete large forms into points, lines, and planes celebrating the simplicity and sustainability of human connection.
