Buildings can serve as extensions of the human body to affirm what, where, and when we are, helping to meet the fundamental human needs for identity, orientation and presence.

This Here Now explains how traditional Japanese buildings respond to distinctive materials, objects and moments, and argues that the built acknowledgment of such events can help to affirm the individuality of our own being. The book also shows how buildings can help us to overcome our separateness by enabling us to share the normally subjective experiences of this, here and now.

Kevin Nute teaches architecture at the University of Hawai'i, Mānoa. His other books include Naturally Animated Architecture, Place, Time and Being in Japanese Architecture, and Frank Lloyd Wright and Japan.
