Favorite architect, still alive and teaching in Kyoto. His buildings are all formally bizarre in terms of structure and ratio and there’s a theory that him and other Japanese architects of his generation purposefully do not adhere to western architectural proportions and aesthetic ideals as a silent protest against the west because of the war and the nuclear fallout that many of them endured as children. He is also a terrific fiction writer. I’ve been trying to get him to write for the magazine for some time now. Apparently he used to beat his employees with a T-ruler.
if ur a hoarder and want to keep leaflets flowers bills pictures etc
if u like to doodle here and there
if u like to write
if u like collage art
if u are a perfectionist and would like to have space to be messy and just glue things together to document moments you should definitely get yourself a small notebook and watch him getting chunkier
it made me observe my surroundings better cuz now im constantly looking for things i can put here.
