Description of contents
We regard architecture as a web of multiple species. Our vision is to decompose and reorganize the modern city with the subtle force of fungus, and build a habitable area where humans and those species can coexist (excerpt from the book).
This book contains a record of activities of Fuminori Nousaku + Mio Tsuneyama, who are engaged in critical architectural practice under the theme of modern cities and the ecosystem.
