a certain sense of scale

My name is Linus Yng and I have master degree in architecture from KTH in Stockholm. 2008/2009 I was and exchange student at Tokyo Institute of Technology. I then returned to live in Tokyo for some time before I left in spring 2011. These are some notes from my time in Tokyo, they are not a coherent whole.
