Photography: Toyo Ito by Iwan Baan

March 17, 2013

"Whoever reviews Ito’s works notices not only a variety of functional programs, but also a spectrum of architectural languages." -- From the 2013 Pritzker Jury's Citation

Toyo Ito has just been announced the winner of the 2013 Pritzker Prize. To commemorate this master architect, we’ve reached out to Iwan Baan, architecture’s premier photographer, and assembled a retrospective of some of Ito’s greatest works (all photographed, of course, by Baan) - including the Za Koenji Public Theatre, Toyo Ito’s Museum of Architecture, Silver Hut - TIMA, Ken Iwata Mother and Child Museum, Yaoko Kawagoe Museum, Suites Avenue Hotel, Huge Wineglass Project, Mikimoto 2, Tama Art University Library & White O. See them all, after the break...

University of North Florida Interfaith Chapel Competition Entry / OAD

January 31, 2013

In their proposal for University of North Florida’s Interfaith Chapel, OAD concluded that the main challenge was to create more than just an impressive chapel, but a place in and of itself that would highlight the unique character and seclusion of the site. The team’s response engages visitors by encouraging unscripted exploration and discovery, gradually revealing the site, chapel, and accessory buildings as the user experience unfolds. More images and architects’ description after the break.
