This Here Now shows how traditional Japanese buildings acknowledge unique materials, objects and events, and argues that the built recognition of singular phenomena serves to affirm the individuality of being in general, including our own. The book also shows how buildings can help us to transcend our individuality by enabling us to share the normally subjective experiences of this, here and now with others.
