------- Paper review -----------
While I was glad to see these innovative examples of Toyo Ito and learn about his design intentions, I did not get much insight about his digital collaboration with his structural engineers.  A more in-depth study of a single building using first-hand observations and interviews would be more valuable that an overview of several projects from secondary sources.

Much of the innovation of these buildings would be most apparent in a combination of text, photographs and explanatory diagrams.  Given the limited space, it is difficult to fully explain them with one or two photos.  This study would be more appropriate to a professional periodical.


------- Abstract review --------
This abstract describes how a digital collaboration between Toyo Ito and his structural designers enabled a seamless connection between building to site and building exterior to interior.   Building is united to site thorough organic shapes created by morphogenetic algorithms and a permeable envelope, interior to exterior through the integration of structure and building skin.  The paper needs to explain how digital tools enabled the process, that is, give a simple definition for "Extended Evolutionary Structural Optimization method".

The abstract has some long, involved sentences (such as the last one), that would be much stronger if it were more direct.  I did not understand either what "directorial character" or "systematizing" meant.  I assume that the author is finding underlying characteristics for a series of Ito's works, in an effort to better understand his design process with his engineers.

Because I didn't understand the summary sentence, I was unclear what methodology was being used to understand Ito's process.  I encourage the author to be methodical in measuring some sort of performance in examining a series of Ito works.
