A Little Too Late but the Not-Late Toyo Ito

Ladies and Gentlemen,
for the purposes of the the Construction and Structures 2 Major Project, please allow me to present to you:

Toyo Ito

Born in Japan and graduating from Tokyo University in 1965, Toyo Ito is one of the most influencial modern architects in Japan, if not the world.
Ito's intuitive uses of concrete, steel and glass (materials prominent in our studies this semester) drew to me to his designs for inspiration and influence for my warehouse.

Please find some images whose titles are links to information about his ouevre and stlye.
