Summary:
Yo Shimada (b. 1972) is an architect based in Kobe, Kansai region of Japan. He founded Tato Architects in 1997 - the name Tato being derived from the decomposition of the kanji character “outside,” which can be read in multiple ways: "outside" or "outsider", referencing to his status as an architect without formal architecture training and who creates work that stands outside of the norm. His body of work comprises a great number of residential projects, which are thoroughly explored in this monograph. The book features 22 houses—from House in Rokko to House in Shoji—all in Japan except for one project in Australia. Characterised by openness, dynamic spatial layouts, and integrated furnishings and stairs, Shimada’s designs are at once efficient and alluring, embracing the everyday in an aesthetically pleasant and refined manner.

Summary:
Based in Japan and one of an emerging generation of young, world-class architects, Shigeru Ban designs and builds graceful, serene structures using modest materials such as cardboard, paper tubes, bamboo, and prefabricated wood. His buildings are sometimes soaring and birdlike, sometimes simple, grounded, and evocative of the Japanese aesthetic, but always they are integrated with and respectful of their surrounding environment. Ban has designed projects at both ends of the client spectrum: from one-room temporary houses of paper tubes for earthquake refugees worldwide to a 14,000 square-foot country house in Sharon, Connecticut – his first U.S. commission. His humanitarian efforts and his interest in recyclable, affordable, natural materials have won praise and attention from museums and critics in America and Europe. Ban’s Curtain Wall House was a favorite entry in the Museum of Modern Art’s “Un-Private House” exhibition in 1999; he has gone on to design a museum for children in Japan, a canal museum in France, and a private art museum in Belgium; he was included in the 2000 and 2002 Venice Biennale, and created the Japan Pavilion for the Expo 2000 in Hannover, Germany. He was a member of the Think team of architects selected in February 2003 as one of two finalist teams to compete for the commission to design the new World Trade Center site in New York.
