Starting with modern theories of the city and the meaning of information technology to architecture, the architect draws an original picture of today’s major cities through precise analysis in the concrete reality of Tokyo. From research that began as long ago as 1970, the author has completed analysis of more than 600 buildings, and through them described the wonderful vitality and dynamic processes which characterize the modern city.

Seven artists with their respective roots in crafts, visual art and architecture were invited by the exhibitions conceptualizer and coordinator, weaver Gudrun Pagter, to explore the two themes of history and space, including space’s narratives and construction. The artists did not make up any particular group. Each one was invited to participate especially on the basis of their crea†ive practice. The two themes converge in the exhibition’s title Making the Architectonic Rounds- articulating a kind of circulating inspection or overhaul. The historical dimensins dwell there as sources of inspiration, and establish, within the context, a kind of sounding board for some of the artists’ works, while others have chosen to place their emphasis on the more comtemporary examination of spatial relations and spatial significance. This catalog presents a richly illustrated documentiation of the character of the exhibiting artists’ pieces and working procedures, both concretely and in a a general sense.
