Moriko Kira, an architect based in the Netherlands, thinks about architecture in long spans of time. From her experience in renovating the Siebold House, a building repeatedly renovated since the late 16th century, and late 19th-century churches, Kira, when designing new buildings, considers how to give a building the "strength to change" during future renovations. This book meticulously describes Moriko Kira's design process, which begins from a dialogue with regional character, architecture, history, and the people involved.
