Just as we use language to parse reality to make it more easily apprehensible, we employ boundaries-parsings of space- and conventional signs in order to give comprehensible form to the space around us. As an inevitable result of this process, the space other than that around us is assigned an identity as the amorphous ÒoutsideÓ. People have frequently tried to keep the outside, the chaos, at bay by building high walls and impregnable boundaries. They categorized the world according to the dualism of inside and outside. Contributions by Kengo Kuma, Sou Fujimoto, and Junya Ishigami.
144 pp. Japanese/English.
