Kisho Kurokawa, who co-founded the Metabolism Movement, is said to epitomize modern Japanese architecture. His architectonic creations aspire to establish a symbiotic relationship between nature and technology, tradition and modernity, order and chaos. His idea of symbiosis is also of greater political, economic and cultural relevance than ever. This re-edited and revised book compiles – for the first time in German – important texts on his philosophy of symbiosis, and in doing so introduces a versatile and innovative thinker who has set directions for the 21st century.
