Type has a strong Modernist pedigree as exemplified by Lucio Costa's elevations for the superquadra at Brasilia, executed in the 1950s, and Toyo Ito's much more recent Singapore Buona Vista Masterplan, which is informed in its approach by the 1960s Metabolists. Though type often requires a level of order or systematisation, it does not prevent it from being playful, as demonstrated by SANAA's museum for Kanazawa where the private and public spaces are entwined in a single building.
