AFTER nearly four decades of work Toyo Ito has earned a cult following among architects around the world, although he is little known outside his home country, Japan. Through his strange and ethereal buildings, which range from modest houses for the urban recluse to a library whose arched forms have the delicacy of paper cutouts, he has created a body of work almost unmatched in its diverse originality.

i've always considered toyo (Mr.Ito) to be an internationally recognizable architect...his commissions seem to confirm that...he is just not as loud and eager to find the spotlight...
his serpentine gallery is still my favorite...probably the only not dissappointing of the bunch...
