Description:
- This drawing is one of four drawings by Arata Isozaki for the "City in the Air" schemes of 1960-1963. Three of these drawings are studies for the "Clusters in the Air" project of 1960-1962: a sketch showing a general view of the project, DR1987:0117, a more finished version of the same view, DR1987:0062, and a three-stage sketch showing trees becoming a forest, DR1987:0116. The sketch of trees demonstrates the principal idea behind the "Clusters in the Air" project; enormous supports (trunks) support passageways (branches) to which living units (leaves) are gradually added. The trees develope side by side, with branches of different trees joining up, creating a "forest" (Isozaki 1992, 20-23, 29). The subject of the fourth drawing, DR1987:0061, is unclear although it is possibly a conceptual drawing for the Marunouchi Project of 1963, a proposal for a "City in the Air" in the central business district of Tokyo (Isozaki 1992, 27, 29). All four drawings are executed on sheets perforated with square holes for insertion into a spiral notebook.
