Einstein, C.

Japanese: アインシュタイン,C. - あいんしゅたいん
Einstein, C.

...Architecture is closely connected to society, so the opinions of architects are important, but in times of confusion and depression, most of the plans remain unrealized, and many of the works during this period were more utopian in nature.
