Small projects, and large, fill the later half of the book with built projects from the last 30 years of his life. A reflection of his philosophy and ideologies can clearly be seen in the many photographs and images, albeit all in black and white. Kisho Kurokawa offers some solutions. They are not easy to comprehend, and require a truly global view on everyone's part. Architecture is not about the form, the function or the symbolism which it portrays.
Architecture is a way of life.
As humans all inhabiting a small singular planet, we must find the courage to overcome the challenges which face us on a daily basis and come to terms with our neighbors rights. The street for example is viewed differently in traditional Japan than it is here in America. The traditional street in Japan used to be named after the trade by which dominated it. On one side of the street, there could be the Blacksmith Row, while on the other side of the street could be Cobbler Lane. This sense of division is by far a vastly different outlook on the neighborhood ethics than our own view.
