Book Description
The work of Japanese architect Toyo Ito explores the dynamic relationship between buildings and their environments. His principal focus is on developing an architecture free of the grid system, which he believes homogenizes people and their lives. Toyo Ito: Forces of Nature documents the architect's 2009 Kassler lecture at the Princeton University School of Architecture. Told primarily in Ito's own voice, the book features the edited lecture transcript, as well as an interview with the architect by Julian Worrall and a new translation of Ito's 1980 essay "The Projection of the 'Profane' World onto the 'Sacred.'" Projects illustrated in the book include: Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (unbuilt), Taichung Opera House, Tama Art University Library, and Kakamigahara Crematorium. Bringing together different strands of a long and fruitful career, Toyo Ito: Forces of Nature concludes with an afterword by Ito that addresses the exhibition Home for All, a response to Japan's earthquake and tsunami disasters in March 2011.

Book Description
After seven months of restoration, and a hard management for its purchase, the House of Juan O'Gorman projected in 1929 will reopen its doors in 2016. Located in front of the former Hacienda de Goicochea (today San Ángel Inn restaurant) was built in what was the tennis courts of the estate, lands acquired by Juan O'Gorman with the payment of fees for his collaborations with Carlos Obregón Santacilia. Completed in 1929, it is considered as 'the first functionalist home' in Mexico, in whichintentionally simplifies the naked use of concrete slabs and makes the slenderness of the posts look, evoking the "Maisons domino" of Le Corbusier (1914).

Book Description
The sophisticated designs by Terunobu Fujimori (*1946 in Nagano prefecture) are fascinating: archaic, eccentric, poetic, and ecological, almost all of them are made of simple, traditional materials such as earth, stone, wood, coal, bark, and mortar. His architecture appeals to primordial instincts, promising warmth and protection. His structures serve as role models for a generation of young international architects who value a mode of building that is ecological, historically aware, and sustainable. This publication uses models, drawings, architectural plans, and photographs to examine the designs by Fujimori, who enjoys being referred to as the world's only Surrealist architect. 0Exhibition: Museum Villa Stuck, Mu nchen, Germany (21.6.-16.9.2012).
