Globalization and Steel-and-Glass Structures: Has the Architectural Divide Between East and West Disappeared?
In the West, concrete is a symbol of strength and efficiency, yet in the hands of a Japanese master, it can become a vehicle for Zen philosophy. In Asia, bamboo is revered as a sustainable material, but in the West, it is being redeveloped into a high-tech, eco-friendly solution. This article will delve into why architects from the East and West, even when faced with the same materials, can create two completely different architectural identities. The root of this lies in a fundamental difference in philosophy: the Eastern focus on living in harmony with nature and the Western drive to challenge physical limits.

Sewing Challenges in the Era of Sustainability: Balancing Durability and Eco-Friendliness
In discussions on sustainable textiles, sewing threads may seem insignificant, yet they play a crucial role. The material and production process of threads not only affect the durability of garments but also have long-term environmental impacts. In particular, under the influence of “fast fashion,” low-quality threads often break or fade easily, leading to garments being quickly discarded. In contrast, durable threads made from sustainable sources help extend the life cycle of clothing, reduce waste, and embody the concept of “slow fashion.”
