After the 1990s, a number of architectural experiments around the world were driven by both globalism and advancements in computing technology. This trend seems to have slowed in recent years, and we now find ourselves at a point where we must once again question contemporary architectural discourse.
We have invited the three most prominent figures in both the practice and theory of contemporary Japanese architecture – Fumihiko Maki, Arata Isozaki, and Hiroshi Hara – to explore possibilities of architecture and architectural education through “Architectural Theory”.
