"We have in Japan an aesthetic of death whereas you have an aesthetic
of eternity. the Ise Shrines are rebuilt every twenty years in the same
form or spirit; whereas you try to preserve the actual Greek Temple,
the original material, as if it could last for eternity."
...City as an organism changes at various rates.
...Replace the mechnanical analogy of orthodox modern architecture.
...By clearly seperating parts of a building or city which have different rates of change, they allow certain structures to remain undistributed when others wear out.
...One doesn't have to destroy a whole building, or part of a city, every time one part breaks down.
