#IsamuNoguchi updated the traditional Japanese paper and bamboo lantern into a design icon of the 1950s, modernising the traditional design with a lightbulb. Here, the iconic #Akari (meaning light) on display at @YSPSculpture (after their major exhibition of his work in 2008, where monumental sculptures that had never left Japan were shown). Read more about our @Champ_Magazine visit to The Noguchi Museum in Japan last year on @Champ_Travel / 🇯🇵🇬🇧 (at Yorkshire Sculpture Park)

Congratulations on a wonderful exhibition @kaws ! Thankyou so much for the invitation @juliachiang ❤️🌹 What a fabulous day out in the British countryside with Brian's work, Moore, Lewitt, WeiWei (Turrell and Viola next time) and my particular favourite palette of the landscape: steel greys, smokey violets and marsh greens. Old Masters (scene) and contemporary (works) for new views (visual and mental) ...🍃🌿🍁🌿🍂🌿🍁🍂🍃 (at Yorkshire Sculpture Park)

Such a well-executed exhibition, displayed in perfect context. Foster + Partners currently design all of the Apple stores worldwide (completely understanding Apple's philosophy of simplicity, beauty and innovation), and are also working on Apple Campus 2 - with 80% of the campus celebrating and incorporating the Californian landscape (working with natural savannah) as opposed to Campus 1 utilising 20% for nature. Really writing new standards, finding a perfect collaborator in Apple, both companies are really leading the way in their fields. NOW AT CHAMP ONLINE: Currently exhibiting at the @moriartmuseum is an insightful look into the British architecture and design firm Foster + Partners. ChampFam and Architecture Consultant @keith__little visits the exhibition, titled "Architecture, Urbanism, Innovation" and on until Feb 14. Pictured, "#TheMillenniumTower commissioned by Obayashi Corp. and designed by Foster in 1989 as a 170 floor arcology, or self-contained human biome to be built in Tokyo Bay. Though a product of the 80's bubble economy, it looks undated and iconic next to the more recent and realized work." #fosterandpartners #moriartmuseum

#ShotoMuseumofArt, located right next door to @So_Gallery and Champ Studio Tokyo, is an absolute wonder to visit. Exhibiting traditional Japanese art, their current exhibition celebrates ceramics by #IshiguroMunemuro, by showcasing a retrospective presenting more than 120 pieces of his works. With design details comparable to Hotel Okura, the building architecture is a one of a kind. 🏆📯Read more about it at @champ_travel #champ_tokyo

Watarium exhibits a survey of the work of Brazilian architect #LinaBoBardi 🍁 / Mainly in Japanese, the exhibition is small but concise. You can read more about Bo Bardi's work in @champ_magazine issue 10, with a feature by our Architecture Editor @melodie_leung 🍁 The work collage here is collected materials (business cards, notes, photos) from Bo Bardi's trip to Japan, and I must say, Joanna and I also collected and dried maple leaves, their colour and form is incredible.
