First evening in Tokyo - looking out across the city from the Hayat roof top bar
Night.light TODS
Inside touchy-feely PRADA
Capsule living
Liquid sky
Crossing the road just became interesting
Breakfast at the fish market
Ramen lunch
big hands. small heads.
Nothing can beat good old day-light.
Kyoto is no exception from the Japanese culture of tidyness and cleanliness. These workers are fast and very efficient.
Golden Pavilion in Kyoto. Apparently was burned down 20 years ago and completely rebuilt.
restaurant in kyoto
tokyo international forum by raffie vinoly. a snip at US$1,500,000,000. and certainly v cool.
Monia, Sandra, Miho and Natasha slept in this tent. Motion sensors triggering the light inside the tent meant you had to sleep very VERY still.
Another set of 'beds' in the accommodation exhibition in the Yokohama Triennale
Yokohama Port Terminal by FOA
from atelier bow wow. i really liked this building: set into the park; grass on roof; wavy form; cones made of tubular steel for services and structure.
Light in Yokohama
beautiful stadium from atelier hitoshi abe in sendai. we were shown around by two very kind and helpful young architects. the office was impressive also. they were working on a huge model of a resort. uber cool.
just who is the dude with the newspaper
In front Toyo Ito's office
A neat solution; these car storage units go up and down - allowing for multiple cars to be stored in a tight space.
There are areas of darkness in the City;
A building of glass, and very swanky.
the new Toyo Ito building opened on the 10th of December
Eisenman in Tokyo. Koizumi Lighting Headquarters. The unit had mixed reviews. Overall - the vote would be been more on Eisenman's side if the building would have been grayscale... I think the pink frightened them.
Patrick got stuck in the Herzog + DeMeuron Changing rooms in the Prada store on Omotesando. took 30 minutes to finally get out. though he might have to overnight there as the staff were reluctant to break the glass to extricate him.
Coloured lights are everywhere - they certainly haven't been captured.
Weird how tidy Tokyo is, yet you find these spots where, well, it stinks
on omotesando. outstanding skin. But just a box. Too overwhelmed by ennui to inspect interior which was univerally considered bit of a let-down. but still v v cool. much better than the mikimoto building.
