EVENT OVERVIEW:
In response to the numerous ACCJ member requests to hear

one. ACE is pleased to present Dr. Kisho Kurokawa, architect

to China, and back here in Tokyo, where he is currently
working on the National Art Center under construction in
Roppongi. Join Dr. Kurokawa as he discusses his recent work
and the running theme through his projects: "symbiosis
of the borderless society with local cultures and functional
ecotechnology."
