Japanese architect Hiroshi Hara, whose major works include Kyoto
Station, the Umeda Sky Building in Osaka, and other important structures
in Japan, is also known for his rich doctrines on architecture, which
draw connections with disciplines such as philosophy and anthropology.
In this impeccably designed and densely erudite volume, he presents
so-called transcriptions about spatial concepts and modes, applying his
decades of experience and thinking, including texts from his lectures at
graduate school and mathematical formulas derived from his background
as an engineer, to dialectic writings centred on the theme of a special
exhibition entitled WALLPAPERS.
