Stan Allen was instrumental in paving the way for the series of publications, and together we shaped this volume to flesh out the discourse surrounding Ito’s most recent work. Startling in its simplicity of format, clarity of rhetoric, and richness of visual imagery, the very nature of Ito’s presentation recommended its publication. The idea to transform the Kassler Lectures into a series of books- although in the air from the very start-also solidified under Dean Allen’s leadership, following the enthusiastic response in 2009 to Toyo Ito’s lecture. No period in the series’ history has been more fruitful in doing so than the tenure of Dean Stan Allen, who brought a succession of international architectural luminaries onto the Princeton campus to talk about their work. Established in memory of longtime Princeton instructor and critic Kenneth Stone Kassler, the endowed series periodically brings the leading architects and thinkers of the day to speak to students at the school. Princeton University School of Architecture has had the great fortune since 1966 of hosting the Kassler Lectures.
