Description:
The book aims to trigger a public discussion regarding central debates, challenging the general public and 21st-century architects, as how should contemporary architecture intervene within an existing environment in general and the one with a significant historical value in particular, respecting and preserving the existing one.What is unique in Portugali's work (including in this building) that even the most modern buildings look as if they’ve been there forever.
Portugali argues that in order to change the feeling of the environment and create buildings we really feel "at home" with and want to live in, what is needed is not a change of style or fashion, but an adaptation of a holistic and crosscultural worldview that will transform the mechanistic worldview underlying current thought and approaches. The Music Center and Library, more than any other building designed by Portugali expresses her unique planning process and her particular interpretation of the holistic phenomenological worldview.
A worldview which stands in recent years at the forefront of the scientific discourse, and is tightly related to the Buddhist philosophy.
