Akihisa Hirata: Tangling

The world of living things tangles and connects, chain-like, all the way from the micro world of proteins to the macro world of forests. This is the fabric of the natural order--"tangles," and the architecture that meshes with it can be considered a part of it.
Akihisa Hirata explains the new architectural vision he has conceived by incorporating themes architects have always kept outside their view, such as the world's hierarchy, people's biological development, the beginning of farming, and life and ethics.
