@eribosot @riley

This is just a list of some four character words, not necessarily idiomatic #yojijukugo.

"Yojijukugo in the broad sense refers to Japanese compound words consisting of four kanji characters, which may contain an idiomatic meaning or simply be a compound noun. However, in the narrow or strict sense, the term refers only to four-kanji compounds that have a particular (idiomatic) meaning, which cannot be inferred from the meanings of the components that make them up."

Kengo Kuma : Onomatopoeia Architecture at Athens

I often think about the dialog between the human and the material. Architecture should be placed in this special dialog.

@ModernDayBartleby @bookstodon The only skate-like experience I've got is downhill skiing - that's generally not making much use of urban landscapes, let alone "the city as hardware"... Impressive outline, I shall check it out. Thanks!
