Nice to meet you. My name is Izumi Shin. This product is a used item. It has been stored indoors under normal conditions. Compared to new items, there may be some stains or discoloration, but there are no inconveniences in use. Also, I am a smoker, so if you are concerned, you may want to refrain from purchasing. Thank you. The following is a product description. 2 The "Contemporary Architects Concept Series" (formerly LIXIL Publishing), which introduces leading contemporary artists on various themes such as architecture, design, product, and landscape, will be relaunched by Spelplatz Press (splpls press) in its second phase. This time, which is the 30th book since the series began in 2008, is the first solo book by Hiroki Akiyoshi (born in 1988), CEO of "VUILD," a design group aiming to transform the architectural industry through digital technology, titled "Meta Architect - Architecture for the Next Generation." This book reconsiders architecture and manufacturing from six fundamental aspects: <society>, <industry>, <economy>, <distribution>, <professional function>, and <design>, and presents new values. The content and practices presented here show that they can change the future of architecture and manufacturing and can be replicated by many people. This is an ambitious book that provides guidelines for creating social impact through the power of architecture, both inside and outside the field. May it become a book of hope for all generations.
