FYI*

in his text about herzog+demeuron, toyo ito proposes the proposal for bibliotheque de france by oma and the signal box by h+dem as 2 of the most important buildings of the last years of architecture. the first, innovative in terms of program and the second in terms of surface. in this short list i would add the sendai mediatheque by toyo ito in terms of structure.

toyo ito also includes a short story about the collaboration of the 2 [rem and herzog] for an unrealized hotel in ny where according to the story rem proposed to the 2 parts to work with their strengths, so himself with plan and herzog with facade.

sometimes i use this joke in the office: today rem, this week herzog ... and so on!!!
