Daiwa Ubiquitous Computing Research Building, Tokyo by Kengo Kuma
Kengo Kuma and his team added a touch of organic design to the urban campus of the University of Tokyo with the Daiwa Ubiquitous Computing Research Building. Balancing out the campus' existing 'harder', geometric volumes, mostly made of concrete and stone, Kuma wrapped this educational building in a soft skin of undulating panels of wood and earth.

Omiyamae Gymnasium, Tokyo by Jun Aoki
One of Jun Aoki's most recently works is the Omiyamae Gymnasium in Tokyo, the winning entry of a very popular open competition in 2008. Aoki responded to the brief for an environmental friendly sports and fitness hub that is 'beyond generations' in a quiet residential neighborhood, by creating a semi-sunken volume that carries a public park on top. To attract the local community, the buffer zones between the swimming pool and sports arena inside the circular volume contain facilities that are open to all, such as café, spaces for children, yoga and meeting rooms.
