I'm a big fan of the books of Momoyo Kaijima and Atelier Bow-Wow. I came across "Made in Tokyo" and "Pet Architecture Guide Book" many years ago and have since been lucky enough to obtain a few of their monographs and their amazing "Graphic Anatomy." One thing linking much of their printed output is drawing, which is most pronounced in the guidebooks and in Graphic Anatomy. The thinking of "Made in Tokyo" — understanding a place through drawings — informs the Japan Pavilion curated by Kaijima with Laurent Stalder and Yu Iseki.

The exhibition and book of the same name consist of 42 drawing projects — many culled from books such as "Cities Without Ground" — that illustrate how we can learn about architecture, cities and the lives within them through the act of drawing. The compact book includes drawings from the exhibition as well as detailed sections highlighted by round apertures in the vein of the magnifier in the gallery, a subtle link between exhibition and book.
