23. Voracious Fast 04/21/10Writing/文章
Now that we have entered a phase of involuntary fasting, any anxiety that the architect is destined to turn into the marginalized hunger artist of our time, soon to be replaced by an omnivorous beast – be it a construction consortium, plan-buro or engineering mammoth - seems foolish. Never have the dominant systems been so frail. [...]
22. The house that used to fly 03/14/10Writing/文章
As the Narita Express, the train between airport and city, dips under the Sumidagawa River on its journey toward Tokyo Station, it passes a monstrous looking structure; a colossal spaceship on massive piers, festooned with a demonic oculus and lined with pulsing red lights...

18. Relations 11/20/09Writing/文章
Oedipus and Kronos never reached Japan. For in this country it is not inevitable that a young architect instantaneously commits patricide upon leaving his master, nor is it given for a master to impair his “renegade’s” prospects.

10. Cutting Fabric 09/01/08Writing/文章
Domus #917. The opening of a new Yoji Yamamoto boutique in Manhattan early February went almost unnoticed by the progressively more architecturally minded New York public. The reports of Junya Ishigami’s subtle but brilliant renovation of a triangular one-story brick structure were lost among announcements of yet another luxury high-rise development [...]

Domus #915. For those not yet lured away by the “bling” of Beijing or the dollars in Dubai, the condition of decline in the developed world should be a key subject of creative exploration and intellectual debate within architecture and urbanism today. Be it well documented examples as Detroit and the eastern part of Germany, [...]

a+u magazine, #449. “Thank you for making SANAA international.” The words of appreciation Kazuyo Sejima used at my farewell party from the firm last November, at a new Italian osteria near the office in Tokyo, were engaging. I started in early 2000, first as intern, then as staff focusing on the firms work outside [...]
5. Beautiful Rough 12/01/07Writing/文章
Domus #909. The New Museum of Contemporary Art opened its new building in downtown Manhattan to the public in early December. The roughly 6000m2, eight-story structure of loosely stacked boxes provides the institution a perfect platform for the advancement of new ideas, in a time and place where they are most needed. The New Museum was [...]

Idea Magazine #293. “…solving a problem simply means representing it so as to make the solution transparent.”1 A recent interest has developed in the phenomenology of diagrams in mathematics, cognitive science, and architectural theory. Traditionally, the diagram is used as a rational tool for analysis and design in these fields, as an abstract representation of a more [...]
