tokyo and its exposed concrete
When I lived in Tokyo, everywhere I went it seemed there were buildings with plain concrete facades. At first, in 1999, I thought they actually looked pretty cool and trendy, like a Comme des Garçons store from the 80's with the insides out. But after a while, they just started looking like, well, concrete.
Jean Snow gets to the bottom of this on NéoJaponisme in an interview with Keiji Ashizawa.
