The Tokyo Apartment building by Sou Fujimoto consists of five dwelling units. Each one of them has two or three independent rooms in a prototypical “house” shape. I’m not sure that I would like to climb a ladder each time I want to go to the other room. But I would definitely like to visit this building.

In Tokyo, where every sliver of land is at a premium, a few feet of unused private property near the front entrance of an apartment building can be used to sell muffins. A patch of storefront space transforms into an ad hoc vegetable stand for a farmer or a consulting space for a fortune-teller.

The Shibuya Station architect is Tadao Ando, who won the Pritzker Prize in 1995. A one-time boxer and truck driver, Ando is a self-educated architect known for minimalist, Brutalist concrete structures. In Shibuya Station, he has used thick, empty, lightweight 'bricks' of prefabricated Glass Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) for every surface: floors, walls, ceilings and columns.
