...visionary behind some of the flashiest high-tech buildings in the Ginza district (Chanel's new 10-story flagship) or along Omotesando Avenue (Louis Vuitton's 36,000-sq.-ft. monolith), but when New York City--based architect Peter Marino heads to Tokyo, he seeks out the city's more traditional--and simple--sites, including the shitamachi, or low city.
