Shin Takamatsu: Architecture and Nothingness

Kiyonori Kikutake's personal vision of building and design has left its mark on the history of architecture worldwide, ever since he relaunched a utopian concept of architecture, as a member of the Metabolist Movement, with his marine city project. Indeed, his vision actually projects beyond this century: his latest constructions, and above all his most recent projects, show the way for the architects of the future, even though he has basically remained faithful to the underlying principles that inspired his earliest work.

Samyn &amp; Partners is one of the most prestigious architecture and engineering firms in Europe. Philippe Samyn's long career-even though his cultural background is deeply entrenched in Belgian tradition, he has actually worked all around the world-has developed into a design philosophy based on the logical-structural principles of construction, physically embodied in architectural designs of great aesthetic quality and subtle technological skill.

Gonzalez De Leon: Architecture As Art

Dubosc &amp; Landowski have developed their own approach to design based, primarily, on a structural analysis of metal frames and a column-beam system, the cladding box-structure sequence and, finally, the lightness/efficiency of building and how they are constructed in relation to developing trends in user needs. Focusing initially on housing projects, they gradually got involved in architecture tout-court, venturing into the services and public building sectors. As both teachers and members of scientific institutes operating in the sector, these two architects have always shown a keen interest in diffusing the discipline on an institutional, academic and, above all, business level.

Paul Andreu's architecture features some of the largest airport designs in the world, but his work is not confines to such high-level specialization. Thanks to his experience working on major projects for Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris and others in Nice, Seoul and many other places, Andreu has developed a global view of architecture exploiting the latest technology to the full.
