註釋Reflections on the architectural world are often quite teasing, for in every first visit to a city there are a multitude of interesting questions that arise. In the end, the same basic values are rediscovered in the experience of the architecture and in the unique genius of a given place. ARCHITECTURE THROUGH MY EYES is a record of an architectural journey recorded by the author in countries that are relatively advanced in maintaining historical architecture: Austria, the Netherlands, Germany, and Japan. In contrast to the collection of writings commonly published on architecture, the author shares first-hand experiences of the architectural objects and cities of interest in this discussion. Traveling in Europe entails short expeditions. The author addresses a few subjects, including the cities, the architecture, the architects, and the uniqueness of their works, influences, and historical styles. In this book, the photographs of architectural works are displayed in a unique manner that addresses a critique of the architectural works and the cities themselves. In arranging this work, the author applied the method that is usually used by architectural historians, including the architectural pilgrimage method, by running an expedition from city to city and documenting everything related to the subjects of the observations made by a lover of architecture. The author believes that through in situ research, which includes the experience of space and time as well as dimensions and distances, a unique spirit is contributed to these writings. This work is also expected to encourage young architectural historians to become more active in an expanded discussion of the history and criticism of architectural works in different parts of the world.
