A blog account of The Building Exploratory's Janet Clark's trip to Tokyo with the Architecture Centre Network. Tuesday, 15 February 2011. National Art Centre, Tokyo. Around the corner was the Mori centre, a labyrinthe housing an art gallery, shops and offices. After what seemed like several hours of wandering through tunnels, up and down stairs, in and out of lifts, we finally found somewhere to have a coffee and an intense and interesting discussion about the changes we are facing in our work.

I must mention Beijing Airport, which was chaotic last time I was there in 1999, but is now a large, gleaming, and very efficient Norman Foster building. Hi there, sound...

A blog account of The Building Exploratory's Janet Clark's trip to Tokyo with the Architecture Centre Network. Wednesday, 16 February 2011. It was a beautiful sunny morning as Cara, Bridget and I took advantage of our few hours free time and set off early for the Meiji shrine.
