对于伊东丰雄来说,设计建筑即等同于思考现代社会。在本书中,伊东丰雄运用了非常朴素坦率的语言去讲述了他近年的建筑作品和建筑思想。伊东丰雄于1970年后执业,至今一直都是代表日本的建筑家。多数建筑家都是保持自己建筑思想和风格不变,用一以贯之的态度进行设计。与之相对,伊东的特点应该就是经常与当时的社会状况对应改变自己的建筑思想和风格。 Toyo Ito, designing architecture is equivalent to thinking about modern society. In this book, Ito Toyomasu used very simple and frank language to describe his architectural works and architectural ideas in recent years. Tomoyo Ito practiced in 1970 and has so far been the architect who represents Japan. Most architects keep their own architectural ideas and style the same, with a consistent attitude to design. In contrast, Ito’s character should be that it often changes its own architectural thought and style in response to the prevailing social conditions.
