Ruy Ohtake designed the Instituto Tomie Ohtake, a museum of contemporary art and office building in downtown Sao Paulo Brazil. The 75m tall building was completed in 2000.
The son of a famed Japanese artist in Barzil, Ohtake expresses curves and fluid change captured in the edifice. The horizontal waving stripes come together in a humanistic curved rectangle as it rises into the air. Shadow, light, repetition, and vibrant color are designed into a very unique composition of flat curved strips.
*Clarification for Mateus who doesn't like this blog: The following image is from Auditorio Ibirapuera by Oscar Niemeyer. It shows a large sculpture by Tomie Ohtake, which illustrates his use of colored stripes to create fluid flat planes. Ohtake uses this same technique in this project.
