Comparison of In-between Concepts by Aldo Van Eyck and Kisho Kurokawa

One of the solutions which emerged in response to the limitations of modernism was the issue of ′in-between′. Concepts relating to the in-between have been suggested and argued simultaneously in the West and the Far East. This paper aims to compare the in-between concepts discussed by two representative theorists of each region: Van Eyck and Kurokawa. Dimensions of the in-between, factors for practicing the in-between, and types of the relationship between two elements which are the subject of integration, are clarified, and comparison of their works is done using the above criteria.
