'''Toyo Ito''' (伊東豊雄, ''Itō Toyo'o''; 1941-) is a [[Japanese people|Japanese]] [[architect]] known for creating extremely [[conceptual architecture]], in which he seeks to simultaneously express the physical and [[virtual]] "worlds". He is a leading exponent of architecture that addresses the contemporary notion of a "simulated" city.
considered "one of the world's most innovative and influential architects." ([[Designboom]]).
==Background and education==
Ito was born in Seoul, South Korea (at the time, Japan had colonized the country). Ito graduated from [[Tokyo University]]'s, [[Department of Architecture, Tokyo University|Department of Architecture]] in 1965.
==Career==
After working for Kiyonori Kikutake Architect and Associates from 1965 to 1969, in 1971 he started his own studio in [[Tokyo, Japan|Tokyo]], named Urbot ("Urban Robot").
In 1979, the studio name was changed to [[Toyo Ito & Associates, Architects]]. Throughout his early career Ito constructed numerous private house projects that expressed aspects of urban life in Japan. His most remarkable early conceptual contributions were made through projects of this scale. See ''[[White U]]'' (1976) and ''[[Silver Hut]]'' (1984).
With the Pao for the Tokyo Nomad Girl projects in 1985 and 1989, Ito presented a vision of the life of an Urban Nomad, illustrating human life during the [[bubble economy]] period in Japan.
''[[Tower of Winds]]'' (1986) and ''[[Egg of Winds]]'' (1991) are interactive landmarks in public spaces, resulting from a creative confrontation with contemporary technical possibilities.
Toyo Ito is known for helping to raise talented architects in the younger generation. Architects who worked for his office include [[Kazuyo Sejima]] and Ryue Nishizawa ([[SANAA (firm)|SANAA]]), Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham (KDa), Katsuya Fukushima, Makoto Yokomizo, and Akihisa Hirata.
==Critical vision==
[[Image:Tower of Winds2.jpg|thumb|Tower of Winds]]
The work of Toyo Ito is often said to take inspiration from philosophers such as [[Munesuke Mita]] and [[Gilles Deleuze]].
Through small house projects, Ito has defined architecture as "clothing" for urban dwellers, particularly in the contemporary Japanese metropolis. This theme revolves around the equilibrium between the private life and the metropolitan, "public" life of an individual.
The current architecture of Toyo Ito expands on his findings from works during the postmodern period, aggressively exploring the potentials of new forms. In doing so, he seeks to find new spatial conditions that manifest the philosophy of borderless beings.

The work of Toyo Ito has been exhibited widely.
In 1991 Ito used 130 video projectors to simulate the urban environment of Tokyo for the ''Visions of Japan'' exhibition at The [[Victoria and Albert Museum]] in [[London]]. In 2000, the ''Vision and Reality'' at The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art also became a traveling exhibition. Toyo Ito similarly exploited the effect of video projection as a medium with which to exhibit architecture. In the ''Blurring Architecture'' exhibition, initiated at the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum in Aachen and traveling to four other cities (Tokyo, Antwerp, Auckland, and Wellington between 1999-2001), Toyo Ito attempted to reveal the ''virtual'' presence of architecture in the human mind.
Toyo Ito designed the [[Berlin-Tokyo/Tokyo-Berlin]] Exhibition (2006) at the [[Neue Nationalgalerie]], [[Berlin]]. The design featured a smooth, undulating landscape that occupied almost the entirety of the museum's main exhibition space. This exhibition, in collaboration with the Mori Art Museum, was one of the largest undertakings in the museum's history. A major retrospective of Ito's work was shown at the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery in 2006 as ''Toyo Ito: The New "Real" in Architecture.''

{{nihongo|'''Kengo Kuma'''|隈 研吾|Kuma Kengo|extra=born 1954}} is a [[Japanese people|Japanese]] [[architect]].
== Biography ==
Kuma was born in [[Kanagawa Prefecture|Kanagawa]], Japan, and attended Eiko gakuen junior and senior high schools. After completing a major in architecture at the [[University of Tokyo]] in 1979, he worked for a time at [[Nihon sekkei]] and [[Toda corporation]]. He then moved to [[New York]] for further studies at [[Columbia University]] as a visiting researcher from 1985 to 1986. In 1987, he founded the "Spatial Design" studio. In 1990, "Kengo Kuma & Associates", his own studio was established. During the 1998-1999 academic year, he was a visiting professor on the faculty of environmental information at [[Keio University]]. In 2008, Kuma earned his [[Ph.D]] from Keio University , and he is currently a professor on the faculty of science and technology there, in the department of system design engineering.
Kuma's stated goal is to "recover the tradition of Japanese buildings" and to reinterpret it for the 21st century. In 1997 he won the prestigious Architectural Institute of Japan Award. Kengo Kuma is still designing architectural buildings with the inspiration of light and nature to achieve his goals such as the LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy) Group's Japan Headquarters as well as one of the largest spas in the Caribbean for [http://delliscay.com/ Mandarin Oriental Dellis Cay].

<text xml:space="preserve">[[Image:Tokyo Tower 20060211.JPG|thumb|right|Tokyo Tower]]
{{nihongo|'''Tachū Naitō'''|内藤多仲|''Naitō Tachū''|[[12 June]], [[1886]] - [[25 August]], [[1970]]}} was a Japanese architect, engineer, and professor from [[Yamanashi Prefecture]], [[Minami-Alps, Yamanashi]]. He was a father of [[seismic analysis|earthquake-proof design]] and built many [[Radio masts and towers|broadcasting]] and [[Observation tower|observation]] towers, including the [[Tokyo Tower]].
== Biography ==
Tachū Naitō attended the Old System Kofu Middle School (presently Yamanashi Prefectural Kofu First High School), he passed high school, then attended the Tokyo Imperial University (presently the [[University of Tokyo]]). First [[naval architecture]] was his major, then he turned to [[architecture]] due to the [[shipbuilding]] depression after the [[Russo-Japanese War]]. He studied with Kino Toshikata, and graduated in 1910. In 1913 he became a professor at [[Waseda University]].
In 1916 he went to America as an international student, where he devised his seismic theory of the earthquake-proof wall. While on the [[First Transcontinental Railroad]] he made observations about the movements of the luggage depending on the trains acceleration, after noticing the scattered trunks when the train made sudden stops. The lack of partitions in the luggage compartment and the disarray of the trunks led him to the structural idea of the earthquake-proof wall,<ref>Kobe Shimbun, 正平調, 30 August, 2003.[http://www.kobe-np.co.jp/seihei/030830ln13330.html]</ref> effectively a [[shear wall]].
Using the seismic structural theory that he devised, he engineered the [[Industrial Bank of Japan]]'s main office which was designed by Setsu Watanabe. Three months after the building's completion in 1923 the [[1923 Great Kantō earthquake|Great Kantō earthquake]] happened. This structure withstood the damage and Naitō included this fact in his lectures as the effectiveness of his earthquake-proof design theory had been proven.
Other than the Industrial Bank of Japan, he worked on the [[Kabuki-za]] and the Okuma auditorium. Naitō designed many broadcasting towers, in 1954 the [[Nagoya TV Tower]], in 1956 the [[Tsutenkaku]], in 1957 the [[Sapporo TV Tower]], and the [[Beppu Tower]], and in 1958 the [[Tokyo Tower]].
Tachū Naitō has held many positions and was recognized with many awards throughout his career. In 1938 he became the chairman of the [[welding]] academy, in 1941 the chair of the architectural academy, in 1954 a member of the [[Science Council of Japan]], in 1960 a member of the [[Japan Academy]], in 1962 he was awarded a distinction for cultural merit, and in 1964 he was awarded the second degree [[Order of the Rising Sun]].
On [[August 25]], [[1970]] at 9:05 AM Tachū Naitō died in the National Tokyo First Hospital, now the [[International Medical Center of Japan]], at 84 years of age. His remains were buried in the graveyard of the Naitō family in Tamareien Cemetery. His epitaph is on the right side and a bronze statue and is on the left.

'''Furuichi Kōi''' (古市公威 1854-1934) was a [[civil engineer]], the president of Kōka Daigaku, the present college of engineering of the [[Tokyo University]].
==Biography==
In 1854 he was born as a son of Huruichi Takashi who was Himego clan’s member in Edo. In Meiji 2, he entered Kaisei-jyo, in Meiji 3, he was elected student on scholarship in Himego han, and entered Daigaku Nankō, then studied abroad to [[Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures]] in Paris as the Ministry of Education first student studying abroad. In Meiji 12 (1879), he graduated and got the degree of BE. In the same year he entered the Faculty of Science of [[University of Paris|Université de Paris]], in 1889 graduated, got Bachelor of Science, and went home and took up a post as Naimusho Doboku-kyoku Yatoi. While studying abroad in France, he was advised by an aunt in the boardinghouse to take a day off. Then he answered "Japan delay 1 day when I rested for 1 day ". In 1881, he became the University of Tokyo lecturer and after that, he concurrently held the posts of the university teacher with the bureaucrat technical expert. In 1886, when he was 32 years old, he was installed in Koka Daigaku which was the forerunner of Tokyo Daigaku Kougakubu (the University of Tokyo engineering department) first president, in 1888 was received the degree of the first Kougaku Hakushi (Doctor of Engineering) and in 1894 was installed in the first engineering works Doboku Gikan (Vice-Minister for Engineering Affairs) in Naimusho. He attempted to improve an engineering works public administration and established Doboku Hōki (an engineering works law). His typical services include the construction of Yokohama-ko. He contributed to improve the reputation of the [[Engineering Technology|engineering technology]] in Japan in the world as the first chairman in Nihon Kougakkai (Japan Federation of Engineering Societies).
==Aftermath==
[[Mishima Yukio]]'s real name was ''Hiraoka Kimitake'' and his father namede Kimitake. His grandfather was ''naimu kanryo'' (a domestic affair of state bureaucrat) and was indebted to Furuichi, by such a reason Yukio was named Kimitake.
Furuichi Kōi's statue is on just the left in the front gate in University of Tokyo ''Hongo'' premises entering.

He studied mathematics and medicine at the [[University of Tokyo]], and art at the [[Musashino Art University]].<ref>[http://www.artnet.com/library/00/0036/T003608.asp artnet.com: Resource Library: Arakawa, Shusaku]</ref> Initially he worked with [[printmaking]], using abstract and [[dada]] styles. He has lived in [[New York]] since 1961.
Arakawa met his partner [[Madeline Gins]] in 1963. Together, they founded the Architectural Body Research Foundation. They have designed and built residences (Reversible Destiny Houses, Bioscleave House, Shidami Resource Recycling Model House) and parks (Site of Reversible Destiny-Yoro). They have developed an original theory and practice of the relation of the human being to the exterior world, elaborated most extensively in their book, ''Architectural Body''. Arakawa and Gins are, together and separately, the authors of several books and exhibition volumes, most recently ''Making Dying Illegal'' (ISBN 1931824223).

{{nihongo|'''Hidetsugu Aneha'''|姉歯秀次|''Aneha Hidetsugu''|extra= born [[June 10]], [[1957]] in [[Osato, Miyagi|Osato]], [[Miyagi Prefecture]]}} is a former [[Japan]]ese [[architect]] and [[builder]] accused of falsifying structural data regarding the [[earthquake]] resistance of various [[condominium]]s and [[hotel]]s.
Aneha was born in [[Osato, Miyagi|Osato]], [[Miyagi Prefecture]] in 1957 and graduated from the construction program at Furukawa Technical High School in 1976. Instead of attending university, he joined an [[Osaka]]-based [[general contractor]] firm. In 1984, Aneha established an architect's office in [[Ichikawa, Chiba|Ichikawa]], [[Chiba Prefecture]]. He was licensed as a first-class architect in 1990.
On [[December 7]], [[2005]], his first-class architect license was revoked by the [[Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (Japan)|Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport]]. [[Witness]]es were summoned by the [[Diet of Japan|Diet]] on [[December 14]], and police inspected Aneha's home on [[December 20]]. On [[April 26]], [[2006]], he and seven people, including [[Moriyoshi Kimura]], [[Akira Shinozuka]] and [[Togo Fujita]] were arrested for violations of the Architect Act and other laws. Aneha's wife reportedly died after she jumped out of a condominium in Chiba in 2006.
On December 26 2006 the Tokyo District Court sentenced the architect to five years in prison plus a fine of 1.8 million yen. On February 19, 2008, the top court upheld his original sentence.

It has been donated (deconstructed and moved) to Taiwan in 2005, due to be reconstructed in 2008.]]
[[Image:NomadicMuseumSantaMonica.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Ban designed the [[Nomadic Museum]] with engineers [[Buro Happold]], a temporary structure composed of 156 [[shipping container]]s.]]
'''Shigeru Ban''' (坂茂, ''Ban Shigeru''; born 1957 in [[Tokyo]], [[Japan]]) is an accomplished [[Japan]]ese and international [[architect]], most famous for his innovative work with paper, particularly recycled [[cardboard]] paper tubes used to quickly and efficiently house disaster victims. Shigeru Ban was the winner in 2005 at age 48 of the 40th annual [[Thomas Jefferson Medal in Architecture]] from the [[University of Virginia]] in [[Charlottesville]]. He was profiled by Time Magazine in their projection of 21st century innovators in the field of architecture and design.<ref name="Belinda Luscombe 2000">Belinda Luscombe, ''[http://www.time.com/time/innovators/design/profile_ban.html He Builds With a Really Tough Material: Paper.]'' Innovators, Time 100: The Next Wave. July 17, 2000.</ref>
Shigeru Ban studied at the [[Southern California Institute of Architecture]] and later went on to [[Cooper Union| Cooper Union’s School of Architecture]] where he studied under [[John Hejduk]] and graduated in 1984. Hejduk was a part of the [[The New York Five]]. From Hejduk, Ban learned not only fundamental elements of architecture, but also gained an interest in ‘architectonic poetics’ or the creation of three-dimensional poetry. Hejduk, the most experimentally minded of the New York Five, had a lasting influence on Ban, whose work has continuing explorations into basic geometric elements. Ban’s formal explorations with basic building materials helped to lead him into unique structural solutions.
For Ban, one of the most important themes in his work is the “invisible structure”. That is, he doesn’t overtly express his structural elements, but rather chooses to incorporate it into the design. Ban is not interested in the ‘newest’ materials and techniques, but rather the expression of the concept behind his building. The materials he chooses to use are deliberately chosen for how they aid the building to do so.
Ban entertains several schools of architecture, first he is a Japanese architect and uses many themes and methods found in traditional Japanese architecture (such as [[shōji]]) and the idea of a ‘universal floor’ to allow continuity between all rooms in a house. In his buildings, this translates to a floor without change in elevation. By choosing to study under Hejduk, Ban opted to do something different. Hejduk’s Rationalist views on architecture provided a way of revisiting Western modernism and gaining a richer appreciation than the reductive vision of it as a rationalized version of the traditionalist--yet ultra-modern--Japanese space. With his Western education and influences, Ban has become of the forerunning Japanese architects who embrace the combination of Western and Eastern building forms and methods. Perhaps most influential from Hejduk was the study of the structure of architectural systems. Ban is most-famous now for his innovative work with paper and cardboard tubing as a material for building construction. He was the first architect in Japan to construct a building primarily out of [[paper]], with his paper house and required special approval for his building to pass Japan’s [[building code]]. Ban is attracted to using paper because of its low-cost, its recyclable, low-tech and they’re replaceable. The last aspect of Ban’s influences is his [[humanitarianism]] and his attraction to ecological architecture. Ban’s work with paper and other materials is heavily based on its [[Sustainable|sustanability]] and because it produces very little waste. As a result of this, Ban’s [[DIY]] [[Refugee shelter]]s (used in Japan after the [[Kobe earthquake]], in [[Turkey]], [[Rwanda]] and around the world) are very popular and effective for low-cost disaster relief-housing.
Ban created the Japanese pavilion building at [[Expo 2000]] in Hanover in collaboration with the architect [[Frei Otto]] and structural engineers [[Buro Happold]]. The 72m long [[gridshell]] structure was made with paper tubes. But due to stringent building laws in Germany, the roof had to be reinforced with a substructure. After the exhibition the structure was [[recycling|recycled]] and returned to paper pulp.<ref name="Belinda Luscombe 2000"/>
Ban fits well into the category of “Ecological Architects” but he also can make solid claims for being modernist, a Japanese experimentalist as well as a rationalist. “I don’t like waste” is an apt quote from Ban, summing up his philosophy, known as “Paper Architecture".
