July 30th, 2008

Dutch firm UNstudio has been hired by our friends at Louis Vuitton to design a new store in Tokyo. It looks amazing, also check out their site for more great projects they are working on!

It should take a few years to get this one done but they do build things much faster in Japan so hopefully we’ll have real pictures by 2010!

    Oops upside my head!! Suddenly the crazy architecture in manga comics doesn’t seem so far fetched!! :-) There’s so much creativity flair and design finesse. this is one gnarly piece of construction!
    but i find this to be implausible. it’s genuinely been bugging me what’s going on with these type buildings. I often find it’s the little oddities that can lead to interesting insights. The most interesting thing about Tokyo architecture is that they totally disregard the style of the neighboring buildings, so everything looks very haphazard. yo i’ve never been to Japan, (though i visit quite often, only in my fantasies) but this is the kind of stuff my dreams are made of, mind blowing and intriguing stuff! I can only imagine what it’s like to be there.

    The architecture in Japan is crazy (in a good way)
    last year the show i was working on (sunday arts) interviewed Mark Dytham from the Klein Dytham architecture group that design alot of buildings and interiors in Japan and it is truly amazing design!!!!!!! my favourite is the leaf chapel,
    here is a link to their site:

    It looks like the Louis Vuitton struture will add to the tapestry of architecture that Japan is harbouring………amazing stuff!!!!!!!
