I don’t get why/how Japanese architects do that. They go around building things that would probably seem naive or redundant on paper, yet they always leave me dumbstruck once completed. On the cherry blossom by A.L.X.; Tokyo, Japan.

I first laid eyes on Nishizawa’s blob-like model at a conference held in Venice by the Benesse Foundation a couple of years back (Benesse is responsible for an ambitious plan promoting art tourism, through development, in seven islands of the Inland Sea of Japan). The scale model looked particularly odd then, and still does now, even after it has been built and inaugurated. Never mind its awkwardness though; if your aim is to impress then you can bet the house on the SANAA head architect. Teshima Art Museum by Ryue Nishizawa; Teshima island; Japan.

A fine example of minimalism. Campo Baeza would be proud (especially for that small tree in the background). Minimalist House by Shinichi Ogawa & Associates - Okinawa, Japan.
