Includes a Conversation with Kenichi Aono, Creative Director at Beams

Trying something because you misunderstand it as "maybe possible." Misunderstanding and slightly changing your perspective on familiar things. Misunderstanding and questioning things that are taken for granted. This book introduces the delightful world of architecture born from such misunderstandings, using gentle language and illustrations that even a child can understand.

Contents
The Beginning of Misunderstanding
Did the "misunderstandings" begin in childhood?
Experiences from elementary school to vocational school, and the thoughts and feelings derived from them.

Architecture of Misunderstanding
This chapter is filled with the concepts that architect Makoto Tanijiri cherishes.
"When someone says they want a 'spacious' living room, what does 'spacious' really mean?"
"If you keep widening a corridor, can it still be called a corridor?"
This section presents new interpretations that emerge from continuous questioning through misunderstanding.

Misunderstandings to Come
Makoto Tanijiri has a "translation habit" of reinterpreting everything he sees and hears in terms of architecture.
By engaging with people from various fields,
this section explores his future potential to create new things through mutual inspiration.

I Saw It: Makoto Tanijiri's Misunderstandings
This section sheds light on Tanijiri's character through the testimonies of ten people who know him well.
