Abstract
Every journey, even the longer ones, begins with a simple step and they usually result into personal changes, new experiences and developments through time. Looking back to the past, my journey on fuzzy logic really started in 1977 even without realizing it, when I was interested in the works of North American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. In that time, I soon learned about Wright’s interest on traditional Japanese architecture and art, so I became interested, too. In a public library I found a jewel of a book titled “Katsura Daitokuji” [3] where the imperial Villa of Katsura and the Daitokujimonastery, both at Kyoto, were shown with abundance of graphical material.
