Saying

works and transforms reality through the construction of an important object
of use. The object of this art form, on the other hand, has the dual quality of
serve as a mirror and enhance it.
This understanding of reality that takes place through the creation of the
architecture requires that the anatomy of it, as its substantial and spiritual
structure, be understood as a whole “Kenzo Tange.

them using modern technology.
