PHILOSOPHER'S HOUSE
|
TAKEO KAMIYA, Architect
A creator of contemporary arts transformed himself into a philosopher. This is the house for the single person, who studies philosophy of Kant or Deleuze in a university, keeping an artist's passion in his heart. The three-storied house on a high ground, having a fine view, involves spaces for meditation upon substance and emptiness. |
