Notes

General Note
Reprint. Originally published as: The Existence of intangible content in architectonic form based upon the practicality of Laotzu's philosophy, 1956.
Description
"In a contemplative essay that develops a parallel between void, space, time, and the science of vision in Laotzu's philosophy and in modern architecture, Amos Ih Tiao Chang reveals the vitality of intangible, or negative, elements. He writes that these qualities make architectonic forms "come alive, become human, naturally harmonize with one another, and enable us to experience them with human sensibility."--Publisher's description.
