Junya Ishigami
Isn't this structure just breathtaking?
Amelia Groom of the wonderful Big in Japan! blog posted these pictures of the new facility at the Kanagawa Institute of Technology, designed by young architect Junya Ishigami (of ex-SANAA fame). It opened a couple of years ago and is Ishigami's first completed building. It's an incredible structure that harmonises the inside and outside environment perfectly. Streaming with natural light and reflecting the foliage outside, it looks like such a peaceful and uplifting space to work in. All I can say is I can't wait to see what else he does!
Below is the Japanese Pavilion he designed for the 11th Venice Architecture Biennale in 2008, posted by designboom.

Isn't it just! I've always dreamed I could somehow live in a half-house/half-garden type situation. Realised...!
