Updated 8 April 2024 MUSIC & SPACE CROSS TALK CO-DIRECTOR : ~ Roger Reynolds THE ARCHITECT :
We have been hearing a great deal of words like “intermedia,” “intermedial” and “interdisciplinary” even in my field of city plannings. Architects, economists. sociologists, and psychologists have to work together. But sociologists,administrators, and architects have a tendency to stay within their proper field. This makes me think that “interdisciplinary” is an unsuitable word. For instance, I am an architect, and I have to go beyond the preserve of architecture. This going beyond is related to some expression like “meta-disciplinary.” ~ Kenzo Tange  YOYOGI NATIONAL GYMNASIUM, TOKYO  Board of Officers Room Architect : Charles W. Clinton "FLiGHT"
