@AmarilloZorro cant agree more

@AmarilloZorro So se reinterprets all in his architecture. Buildings have to be temporal, people can change distribution and spaces are multifunctional (as japanese traditional house) and the user can do this in Nagakin building!
Materials have to be used honestly, shown in their natural form, as in a teahouse: wood is wood, sand is sand. In Nagakin Tower iron is iron, polymer is polymer. In Their natural way

It is interesting how he reinterpreted japanese traditional arcuitecture not in form, but in values.
He said japanese traditional architecture shows us 4 values: invisible, impermanence, receptivity and detail.
Japanese people learned to see their cities as something not perdurable due to war, natural disasters and because of materials that were not too perdurable against weather conditions (a lot of changes of season)

He died in 2007, the same year the occupants/owners voted to demolish it.

Are you serious? I didn't know that he is no longer around:-(

That's beautiful! When I was growing up, we dreamed about such things in Ireland.
DO NOT DESTROY THE BUILDING!!! I have a feeling that people would love to live there and will learn to value it!
@AmarilloZorro and finaly, modern architecture have to reinvent with new modern materials and shapes, but taking in count these values!
Important, about impermanence. Traditional architecture constructed in materials difficult to preserve. Because they know that nature or human intervention (war, etc) could bring buildings down. Buildings must be constructed in a temporal way, as japanese peolple learned to see the life itself.
