By Tao Baerlocher and Samuele Squassabia

Kazunari Sakamoto (born 1943) has mainly been working on smaller residential buildings, in which he questions and explores the principles of architecture. His buildings and theoretical works have had a big influence on the contemporary Japanese architecture. The lecture in this book is about his search for spaces, which enables the people to be free from the constraints and restrictions of our society and to develop freely. Text in English and Japanese.
