A Very Herzog and Ito Birthday


Tods Store by Toyo Ito (my professor!)
Here is an older photo of the site, before the building next to Tod's was demolished.  The juxtaposition of old and new was beautiful, currently it is a construction site... tbd what will pop up next.  Tokyo is always changing.. an ephemeral city.

Inside...


One of the buildings in Tokyo I have wanted to see for a long time!  Love it, the structure and the facade are informed by the buildings location in Omotesando, an area famous for its tree-lined street.  Photos not allowed inside, but managed to get a few...








Prada Store Tokyo by Herzog and de Meuron

and the inside is even more amazing...
