Description

Point Line Plane offers a unique perspective on architecture, one that seeks to redefine our relationship with nature and technology. Written by renowned architect Kengo Kuma, this collection of essays challenges the status quo in the field, critiquing the megastructures and capitalist influences of the 20th century.

Kuma's vision for architecture is one of dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation, where simplicity and sustainability are celebrated through a focus on points, lines, and planes. Drawing from diverse disciplines including art history, philosophy, and literature, he presents a compelling manifesto for a new era of design that prioritises human connection.

This thought-provoking book invites readers to reconsider the role of architecture in shaping our world, and to explore a fresh approach to building and design that is both sustainable and beautiful.
