Toyo Ito with Koji Ichikawa and Others : Meanwhile in JapanTools Anon. Toyo Ito with Koji Ichikawa and Others : Meanwhile in Japan. Montréal, Qc: Centre canadien d'architecture/Canadian Centre for Architecture, 2023.
Abstract (English)"In this new volume of the CCA Singles presenting the Meanwhile in Japan conversations, Toyo Ito sat with a group of young architects and academics to discuss how his early work of the 1970s and 1980s took a radical approach to intervening in a newly emerged consumerist culture in Tokyo. As architects elsewhere in the world sought to break through the conventions of modernism, Ito attempted to bring new significance to architecture in a rapidly transforming city, with particular attention to the lives of women in urban society. Led by Koji Ichikawa, the conversation included Mikio Wakabayashi, Kozo Kadowaki, Riken Yamamoto, Makoto Ueda, Yutaro Muraji, Koji Ichikawa, Wakana Hara, and Haruhiko Sunagawa. This book is the third volume in a series presenting conversations between a young generation of architects and scholars and key figures of Japanese architecture (Itsuko Hasegawa, Hiroshi Hara and Toyo Ito) of the 1970s and 1980s who attempted to redefine architecture beyond the doctrine of modernism and address the needs of society at large." -- Publisher's website
