City Hall (June 2003), Photograph; Ryoji Fukabori

The old city, Aachen. This building is the City Hall. I like small city, more than big and modern style city. Small city keep the old part in their center and has the modern part around center.

In Japan, old architecture was made of wood. For this reason, it was difficult to prereserve many buildings. Further we have many earthquake. But we can see a quite old wooden big architecture in Nara city. It is very rare over the world.
