Throughout her career as a practicing architect and educator, Toshiko Mori has pursued a technical interest in the properties of materials, and especially synthetic materials, in addition to her concerns for purity of line, visual lightness and thermal performance.

Whether designing exhibitions, houses or institutional projects such as the Visitor Center for Frank Lloyd Wright’s Darwin D. Martin House in Buffalo, New York, she enjoys a process that combines intuition with the rigor of research.
