Simple lines for Le Corbusier Toyo Ito compares his pattern of his works to the projects of Le Corbusier as there is some unexpected relation in form and space between them. His direction to work is so similar to the one of Le Corbusier as two of them seek to find an answer for the architecture for the new era at that moment. Toyo Ito think that la maison Domino is representing his works of refinement, expression in the surfaces and manipulations of Villa savoy, Le Corbusier House at Koganei, 1980 form from seventies. Le Corbusier expressed the simple emotion that the sun and plants instil in human being by creating a roof space to connect people to the nature, as well as the project, The Silver Hut from Ito. They both established a positive relationship with nature. Nevertheless, the separation between inside and outside of The Silver Hut is yet more clear Villa stein, Le Corbusier and without a boundary. Because this project concern of the new way of life with the information. There are two bodies today, one is real body unit connecting to the family that is being replaced by the second body,the virtual body, that makes social connect individually, in contrast to the period in which Le Corbusier lived. <<Response to the search for Refinement, expressed in the attention paid to surfaces and La maison Domino, Le Corbusier House at Umegaoka, 1982 manipulations of form>>
Simple lines for Le Corbusier With this contrast of the society t h a t ' s m a k e h i m s t o p comparing their works, until he has designed The Old People's Home whose the appearance of the large flat roof is similar to the project, Chandigarh of Le Corbusier. This project is created for the new life for the elderly to be contacted with the nature. They are old people with real b o d i e s s u i t e d t o l i v i n g together, but they are not the Chandigarh, Le Corbusier, 1959 The Silver Hut, 1984 same time nomads with virtual bodies in their consciousness. This house is designed to be inhabited by a community of spirit not closely bound to the place. He uses the materials in abstract manner, and a not very defined space for the elderly to create themselves a preferred space in their minds. By these concept, he admits his latent process to the simple lines of Le Corbusier, in the sense that the real depth and Old People home, 1994 breadth of existence have been eliminated. Anyway, some important different point today is that we could not create a community space that will be success and fascinating as the virtual one by just adding green area as the way of Le Corbusier. <<What I wanted is to create a not very defined space that would have no centre other than the dreams of Old People home, 1994 The Silver Hut, 1984 the residents>>

A body image beyond the modern : Is there residential architecture without criticism? 1. Fissures in Contemporary society Toyo Ito used his frustration and criticism over the state and society expressed in his early-10-years public works as he believed that it is impossible to conceive of a common language capable of bridging the gap between the systems of actual cities and societies. Unlike the other arts that can be installing in the library or museum, the architects have to expose this criticism to the environment. Even if the private project situated in enclosed boundary that the architects used to reflect their emotion, does not stop them from having social significance. 2. The Misunderstanding of Criticism So the question of how to turn the negative expression into the positive one has come through his thought. He found that the criticism issue is a part of the residential architecture without fissures and anger or frustration. 3. A Flock of Reclusive Aesthetes The negative attitude came from the period of the modernization. And it causes what Ito called "transparency syndrome" as we considered the aesthetics without realize the conflict with outside. 4. A Home of the Purest Modernism, or the Tragedy of O'Gorman The project, Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo House, by Juan O'Gorman in mexico represent the concept of pure functionality, but differently from the modernism in the same period as this project integrates the real natural body which relate to the context of Mexico with the one of abstract art. 5. A Body Image beyond the Modern In the modern period, people seeks the body that embed by the mechanical experience using the materials of steel glass as if they were in the car or airplane. Now it's time to seek the body image of a new different kind of nature as a memory of the future, but respecting to the old natural body for achieving the positive language. The Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo House, Juan O'Gorman, 1930s
