Vision
I imagine a vast world that has not been fully captured within the framework of "architecture" until now.
Fukei is generally translated as landscape, but according to Ingold (1992), fukei is neither "land," "nature," nor "space."
The landscape is said to be something that is born from the act of living of all things, moment by moment, and is in a state of constant change over time.
The architecture, the people, the trees, and the earth in which they are rooted - everything is floating in the movement of life.
Is it possible to capture the "shape" of change that exists in this "landscape"?
I think about this every day: by designing architecture not as a standalone entity, but as something that is connected to various elements, small buildings can create large landscapes.
