The occasion of the Yokohama Port Terminal competition in 1995 was a watershed for the discipline in many respects. A new generation of architects and theorists across the globe seized it as a platform to explore emerging modalities in design, design technology, and delivery which would in the ensuing decades become the medium through which and against which much of contemporary practice plays out. To understand this shift is to recognize that Yokohama elicited changes not simply in one architectural register but across almost all of the disciplinary and sub-disciplinary categories that involve the conception and practice of design. This symposium will reengage Yokohama with neither nostalgia nor negativity. The symposium is designed to trace the birth, development of the notion of Continuous Architecture which became a basis for the design of Yokohama, and finally discuss the influence on the contemporaneous condition and its possibility in the future.
