Summary:
Conceived by photographer Naoya Hatakeyama, this tribute to Toyo Ito’s design for the Taichung Opera House in Taiwan offers an eye-opening look at an extraordinary building, its urban context, and daily use. Completed in 2014, the curving structure with its cut-out voids and sectioned facade has proved to be a magnet, not just for audiences but also for people who come to enjoy its rooftop landscape, water elements, and cave-like interior spaces. Besides the many photographs by Hatakeyama, the publication includes an illuminating dialogue between Ito and architectural historian Terunobu Fujimori.

Summary:
Toyo Ito is one of the foremost architects working today. His architecture makes innovative use of steel and aluminium and includes such buildings as the White U House and the Eggs of Winds in Tokyo. This volume focuses on his Mediathèque in Sendai. This newly completed structure, which houses a library, art gallery, cinema, lecture theatre, and cybercafé, is predicated on the idea that the users of the building occupy a media/ information landscape or “digital ecology. ”Through a series of extraordinary technical advances, floors supported by a system of occupiable hollow tubes and sophisticated information and media networks, the building creates an environment in which people can engage in cultural activities both internally (within the structure) and externally (through digital connections to the world at large). This volume investigates the evolution of the structure through a series of essays by experts on media, architectural technology, and digital culture.

Summary:
Comment construire après un événement aussi destructeur que la catastrophe de mars 2011 qui a affecté le Japon ? Telle est la question que pose le grand architecte japonais Toyô Itô (prix Pritzker 2013). Il plaide ici pour une architecture nouvelle, mieux intégrée dans l'environnement naturel, plus en prise avec la société et plus à l'écoute des besoins des habitants. Cette réflexion trouve une application concrète dans l'action que mène Toyô Itô pour la reconstruction de la région du nord-est du Japon.
