The Original PechaKucha Night
2016
Klein Dytham, Daikanyama T-Site
2016
Three separate buildings are brought together with a spine running through the interior and exterior, allowing for the buildings to feel as one, while appearing (externally) as the three.
Klein Dytham, Ginza Place
2016
Its all about the texture, the shadow and movement.
Not just a corner store, but a gallery for the cars and an exhibition for the architects.
Kenzo Tange, Yoyogi National Gymnasium
2016
This is my favourite building in Tokyo; its so graceful, despite its size. My goal is to get access inside, I've seen photos of the interior on Google and it looks like I will not be disappointed when I eventually do get to see it.

Taniguchi Yoshio, Yasuyo Building
2016
Tokyo daylight hours are 06.00 - 16.30, yet most things open late and close late. I think this is because they like to have the lights on in the City.
Underground Birds
2016
My favourite sound in Tokyo, bird song being played in the underground stations
Kisho Kurokawa, The National Art Center
2016
A colossal building, with a huge amount of work on display. If anything it is too large, with too much to see. Tickets are valid for 12 hours, yet I think 48 hour tickets would be more appropriate.
Yoshinobu Ashihara, Control Tower, Komazawa Olympic Park
2016
People of Shibuya
2016
5pm on a Sunday afternoon. Turn the sound up high, as high as it will go - better yet use headphones.
Kengo Kuma & Associates, Nezu Museum
2016
The Garden is as lovely as the building, and the ceiling in the cafe was a happy surprise - I actually think the cafe provides for the more atmospheric space, unrestricted by the demands that an exhibition entails.
Renzo Piano, Maison Hermès
2016
Blade Runner
2016
For some reason Tokyo reminds me of Blade Runner, minus the flying cars.
Its a place in a whole other world, one so completely different to what I am used to.
