Toyo Ito's message for the future

one of the many messages on the walls and ceilings

I took advantage of a fine autumn day and went by car to the TIMA or Toyo Ito Museum of Architecture again. I wanted to see the exhibits concerning the project called "home-for-all" for Tohoku that Ito has got involved deeply.

Before going to that section, I read almost all the messages and quotations of architects and others printed on the geometric walls of the museum.

Here's one of Ito's messages:

Future communities have to be rebuilt on the foundations of the lost houses
Memories have to be handed down
Like grass and trees sprout out on the leveled land
New pillars will rise on the former foundations
Seeking for powerful, brighter communities of the future
