Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery

Artists

Toyo Ito

Known for his use of the lightness and transparency of glass, his organic structures that appear to move, his fusion of new technologies with handmade techniques, and for his realization of hitherto impossible architectural feats, Toyo Ito is one of the world's leading contemporary architects. The critical acclaim he receved for the epoch-making work he created at the Sendai Mediatheque in 2001, was the impetus for his becoming an internationally renowned architect.
This exhibition presents a series of displays of his architectural experiments, illustrating the logic behind the development of his work.
