IT'S easy to fall in love with the way of Zen, especially during these contemporary times. The philosophy speaks of simplicity and finding ways to meditate to cope with the chaos of everyday living. It makes one strive to be mindful, be present and find inner peace and let it manifest outwardly.

It is, therefore, unsurprising to hear that renowned Japanese architectural firm, Tange Associates, is an expert on this. The Japanese firm is globally renowned for staying true to its heritage and the principles of Zen: purity, depth and functionality.
