[2010] Happy New Year

Not so New anymore the Year 2010, but nevertheless I wish everybody a Happy one.

Just came back from a tour to Iga City in Mie Prefecture, where I learned two astonishing facts. The city hall I have passed by numerous times and about which I always wondered, who designed this Corbusier like concrete building, was designed by Sakakura Junzo (could have and even guessed it). The second fact, it is scheduled to be torn down and replaced with a new building soon.

Added DOCOMOMO Japan: the 100 Selections from JA57.
