Lecture by Toyo Ito / Toyo Ito and Associates, Architects Video Clips. Duration : 95.00 Mins.
Recorded in Timken Lecture Hall April 13, 2009 on the San Francisco campus of California College of the Arts as part of the spring 2009 Architecture Lecture Series. Toyo Ito creates extreme conceptual architecture, in which he seeks to melt and intertwine the physical and virtual worlds. His key concerns revolve around the equilibrium between private/individual and public/metropolitan, addressing the contemporary notions of the simulated city, the urban nomad, and borderlessness. His smaller housing projects look at architecture as a "dress" for urban individuals--especially in ultra-urban Japan. Born in what is now Seoul, Ito started his own studio, Urban Robot, in 1971; it became Toyo Ito and Associates, Architects in 1979. The Architecture Lecture Series is funded by Field Paoli Architects, Jensen Architects, BKBC Architects Inc., BraytonHughes Design Studios, Cass Calder Smith, David Baker + Partners Architects, Heller Manus Architects, HKIT Architects, Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects, Marc L'Italien / EHDD Architecture, NicholsBooth Architects, Ratcliff, SRG Partnership, and Toby Levy, with additional support from ELS Architecture and Urban Design.
