Teshima Art Museum

Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA and artist Rei Naito collaborated to produce probably the best building/pavillion/sculpture I have ever experienced. Here are a few guerilla photos that I snapped! 



Sou Fujimoro Interview

After posting the Tokyo Apartments I thought this Studio Banana Interview with Sou Fujimoto was quite appropriate! Check it.

Tokyo Apartment // Sou Fujimoto

We had about half an hour to get to this building in Tokyo but it was well worth it. You've seen it in all the magazine and blogs so here are a just few photos.

Not new, but its space.

Probably the only photo I have from New York that doesn't have myself or Annie in it. What bad architecture students we are! The storefront for art and architecture by Steven Holl is sited on a corner between Chinatown, Little Italy and SOHO and has an very interesting approach to the street. Rather than just creating a straight forward facade to the street the hinged panels fold out onto the sidewalk REALLY impacting on the urban space and pretty much forcing the public to interact with it (you have to walk around the panels when on the sidewalk). I think its interesting to think how these panels extend the "space" Steven Holl has to work with and the spatial impact it has on the built and cultural fabric of New York. But what do you think?
