A new addition in the series Contemporary Architects Concept, this volume deals with Òmicroscopic observationÓ by Hiroshi Nakamura. This is an approach which recognizes a phenomenon as a minute motion of small elements, not the whole taken together. Since modern architecture has aimed to supply vast quantities of dwellings and offices, in response to the architectural demands that arose during two world wars and the period of high-growth, there was no choice but to abstract and standardize individuals. This was macroscopic design, and was completely opposed to a microscopic approach. This book is composed of four chapters: Body, Material, Nature and Society, introducing the details of microscopic designs for each chapter.
