This book reveals the theoretical strategy that the Japanese architect Toyo Ito (1941) puts into practice by conceptually integrating the human being and architecture as parts of an inseparable whole, identified with nature. Regarding the Sendai Media Library, Toyo Ito refers to this work, so representative of all his work, as “a non-linear process in architecture”: “Creating is the act of discovering something unknown. To participate in this process, you do not have to objectively control it from the outside, but rather you have to throw yourself into the current and make decisions in the midst of an invisible relationship. For this, you have to remove the 'wall of time'.” The exhibition project (2002) that gave rise to this book, one of the first carried out by Casa Asia Coinciding with its foundation, it brought together several key works by the architect, facilitating the journey through his career.
