Japanese architect Nikken Sekkei has completed the Hoki Museum (ホキ美術館) in Chiba, Japan. It is Japan's first museum dedicated to Realist painting.
"What makes Realist painting so fascinating? Realist art works depict what the painter sees, as is. These works are intricately worked, each massively time-consuming, as the painter creates just a few works a year, facing the same canvas day after day. And when we see the worlds created in such works, we sense that the painting has so much more to say than the reality it depicts.
Today, the Hoki Museum collections include 300 works by some 40 painters, ranging from great masters to young artists. Up until now, there have been few opportunities to see Realist works in Japan. The Hoki Museum will now fill that void. My hope is that the Hoki Museum will be a "healing museum" where visitors can appreciate the art works slowly and thoroughly."

"The impression we want is that buildings are formed by the same forces that shaped the land, building has real integrity and a richness of stone and texture... wanted earth to be earth, wood to be wood and stone to be stone."Patterson

"Perched atop a ridgeline in the Hollywood Hills, the presence of the Skyline Residence represents an honest approach to creating an environmentally sensitive building without sacrificing beauty nor budget. The pre-existing site presented a challenge in terms of constructability, the client presented the challenge of limited allowable expenses."+ more photos

Massimiliano Fuksas Architetto is the designer of The Peres Center for Peace located in Israel, Jaffa Tel Aviv. Fuksas explained that
"To imagine a place that is not virtual, but real. To be dedicated to Peace, is an immensely taxing undertaking of profound ethical significance, peace is spiritual condition, an aspiration: tension and utopia. I have thought of a series of layers, a building that represents TIME and PATIENCE in strata of alternating materials representing places that have suffered heavily."
"The Peres Center for Peace is a parallelepiped, obtained by irregularly shaped green concrete and glass layers standing on a monolithic base."read more
