Between 1972 and 1997, Hiroshi Hara visited over 200 villages with his students to study the spatial configurations of human settlements. The third of four selections presented here describes air as the total atmospheric condition of a place—a quality he encountered, in different forms, across those many sites.

This essay is the final chapter of Japanese Urban Space. After thoroughly reporting the forms of urban space specific to Japan, the book ends with analyzing spatial representation on two dimensions, comparing the methods inherited in Japan with those in other cultures. To the author, understanding how we image and represent space was essential for those embarking on urban space planning. The book did not identify the essay’s author, but it turned out to be Arata Isozaki when he published it in Kukan e, a collection of his writings, in 1972.
