Isozaki, Arata. Japan-ness in Architecture. Cambridge: MIT Press, 2006.
Great resource and enjoyable read – talks about Japanese notions of space
(including ‘ma’), ritual, tradition, utopia, time, Japan and the western world, etc….

Nute, Kevin (Associate Professor of Architecture). " 'Ma' and the Japanese Sense of
Place Revisited: by Way of Cyberspace. " Japan: Muroran Institute of Technology,
date unknown.
This paper initiated a bit of a breakthrough for me in its comparison of the
Japanese sense of place (‘ma’) and its view of the threshold as an event rather than
a place, to our movement through internet “places.”
Stalder, Laurent. "Turning Architecture Inside Out: Revolving Doors and Other
Threshold Devices." Journal of Design History (2009) 22(1):69-77
Really great find- Stalder explores the history of technological innovation of doors,
specifically revolving doors and "air curtains," and explores the larger societal
context of our continual technological advances in the paradoxical space of the
doorway. He also talks about how the technological advances create a
deconstruction and compartmentalization of the human body in the act of
passage.
Bois, Yve-Alain. “The Iconoclast.” from the book Piet Mondrian, 1872-1944.
Boston: Bullfinch, 1995.
Very valuable resource for the development of my core ideas of duality, equilibrium,
movement, stillness, universality, etc., and the language that goes with them.
Understanding what Mondrian was trying to achieve and how he did it are
informing my current process.
Kracauer, Siegried; Correll, Barbara; Zipes, Jack. "The Mass Ornament." New German
Critique, No. 5 (Spring, 1975), pp 67-76
I read this early on and then set it aside. It seems to be making a comeback-
Compartmentalization of the body, deconstruction from whole body into sets of
parts; patterns, demythologization, plus a strange mix of de-ritualization and
hyper-ritualization.
