Japan 1 Highlights Relevant to Sustainable Design:
We can look to more proactively build up in cities versus out in suburbs to reduce the burden on sprawl and automobile transportation.
From the roof of the Olympic Village hostel where I initially stayed in Tokyo, I drew the first image of my Japanese odyssey in 1992. The skyline was more dynamic than any I had seen in other cities.
