Summary:
One of the 20th century’s most significant architects, Kenzo Tange combined traditional Japanese styles with modernism, and took on major post-war urban redevelopment projects in Tokyo and abroad.

Attempting to form an overview of the experimentation that has gone into his efforts over the past two decades, Sou Fujimoto compiles a multifarious and richly illustrated collection of works – concepts, new ideas, and unrealised projects – that is remarkable both for its sprawling diversity and for its consistency in the pursuit of an ideal. As Fujimoto writes in his introduction, “Beneath even the boldest, most daring proposals lie many years of patient trial and error.” Each project description contains index numbers of other projects that bear a resemblance to it, enabling readers to trace an interconnected web of interrelated concepts through his entire body of work.

Summary:
We have come to enjoy plentiful lifestyles in the 21st century, yet we are also facing issues such as climate change, social inequality, epidemics, and the shifts in global dynamics brought on by these things. ‘'How is Life?'’ takes another look at the various facets of our everyday lives, reframing architecture as something that serves to make people’s lives better and exploring ways in which design can be employed to achieve prosperity not premised on growth. By introducing projects that offer possibilities which depart from traditional conceptions of architecture and the city, the book sparks a fresh awareness, inspiring you to explore new perspectives for living together with our Earth.
