The theme is urban housing; the brief is to find innovative solutions to place in densely built-up areas.

The theme is urban housing; the brief is to find innovative solutions to place in densely built-up areas. In London and Tokyo, two different but equally brilliant architects – Stephen Taylor and Ryue Nishizawa – address this lack of space on a daily basis together with problems of proximity and the need for privacy, community and public space. In the exhibition “Some ideas on living in London and Tokyo”, curated by Giovanna Borasi at the Canadian Architecture Centre in Montréal, these architects present their solutions for contemporary metropolitan living (until October 28).
