It is highly recommended to visit "Lee-um " in Seoul, designed by Botta, Noubel and Koolhaas. Both of its architecture and collection are of the highest quality. On the other hand, at the "SUMIKA-PROJECT", four architects designed experimental houses. It is an ambitious attempt. "SUMIKA" means a place to live in Japanese.(20090405)
This is a studio of an institute of technology. It looks like a pavilion. It have the complicated space on a very simple principle. This is great! (20080216)
In a very large redevelopment district, only Tadao Ando made an Architecture. Two people stood still when I looked back. On the other hand, the art museum of Jun Aoki was built besides ancient remains. It looks pretty from a distance, but is huge when it approaches! Though the inside seems to be simple, it is complicated, and seems to be a maze.(20071110)
The first building in Tokyo of MVRDV named "GYRE" is located in Omotesando. Some famous boutiques and restaurants are in this building, but the characteristic such as the architectural irony of MVRDV which I expected is not found.(20071104)
Miru-kenchiku was reformed after an interval of three years. The new photo gallery contains the masterpieces of the modern in Tokyo and the latest constructions of Tadao Ando and Toyo Ito.(20060717)
