Toyo Ito designs poster for Cersaie 2007

17/01/07 - "Grids have ruled space throughout the 20th century. Cities all over the world have been covered by homogeneous grids. I have a feeling that in this century, grids will melt, become distorted and transform like natural topographies.

In other words, architecture is becoming closer to natural systems." This is the idea that inspired Toyo Ito in his design for the poster for Cersaie 2007, to be held in Bologna from 2 to 6 October this year.

Toyo Ito, the acclaimed Japanese architect who attempts to reflect nature in his works through research into organic geometries, is the eighth world-famous architect or designer to create the poster for the Bologna show.
