The floating world of Kisho Kurokawa

摘要

Kisho Kurokawa is a well-connected architect. He mingles with past, present and future prime ministers; his retrospective committee chairman is the chairman of Tokyo Electric Power Co, and Mr Toyota (of guess what) is another board member. Perhaps the architect's ability to envision the future is more welcome in Asia than here; and when its practitioner mingles with powerful ideas - philosophical references litter his writings - as readily as with powerful men, the combination might be electric.
