今天我们的城市正不得不进行过去从未经历过的巨大改变。被千变万化的世界弄得迷惑不解的我们,正试图用局部处理的办法来应付这种变化。在这种情况下,发现和了解哪些东西不能改变或很难改变,对于了解必须改变和可以改变的东西,当然是非常重要的。我游历过国外许多城市,发现只有日本才有这种丰富的空间层次。这是一种非常富于特色的和罕见的现象。我认为,日本人经常在这种秘密的多层空间组成的核心,构思出一种“奥”的最中 Today our city is having to make great changes that have never before been experienced. We are puzzled by the ever-changing world and we are trying to deal with this change with a partial approach. In this case, it is of course very important to discover and understand what cannot be changed or difficult to change, and to understand what must be changed and what can be changed. I have traveled many cities abroad and found that only Japan has such a rich spatial hierarchy. This is a very characteristic and rare phenomenon. In my opinion, the Japanese often conceive a kind of “Olympic” at the core of this secret multi-layered space.
