At 6.20pm, the Art Gallery will hold its first annual selection of the 2019-2020 series of events — Architecture Salon (3): Two Talks on Kazuo Shinohara, the curation team specially invited Japanese architect and H2R architects, lead architect Hideki Hirahara Zhao Biyu and Professor Zhao Biyu of the Long Shortsu Rural Institute, discussed the Japanese architect Shinobara (Kazuo Shinohara's creative context and its far-reaching influence on architectural thinking.
Kazuo Shinohara (1925-2006) originally studied mathematics and switched to architecture after graduating from Tokyo University of Technology in 1953. He taught at his mother's school after graduating from Tokyo University of Technology in 1953. SHINOHARA'S WORK HAS INFLUENCED JAPANESE ARCHITECTS SUCH AS IRENE SAKAMOTO, YAIKO NAGAYAKAWA, ITOYO ITŌ, GISHIMA WAZE, YUHARI TSUMOTO, YUHARI TSUMOTO, NAGAYAKAWA HAO, AND HIS INFLUENCE IS MORE WIDELY SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD. The Swiss architect Valerio Olgiati, who spoke at the Architectural Salon (2) in this exhibition series, commented on Shinohara's images as his spatial thinking. In 2019, the Harvard School of Design (GSD) also hosted the Shinohara exhibition Shinohara Kazuo: ModernNext.
This time, Master Ishii Ishii of Shinohara will focus on Jutaku-Ron (Essays on Residential Housings) to discuss the path of architectural thinking that began with living space. Zhao Biyu uses four styles of Shinobara's career to discuss the context of the architect's work and share spatial observations of Shinobara's architecture.
In addition to the exhibition “Literature of the Year 2019-2020”, in addition to exhibiting the works of Shinohara's one-man architecture from the 1960s and 70s, there is also a photographic collection of Shinohara a man edited by the Swiss Association of Young Architects Dehli Grolimund and published in 2019 (Kazuo Shinohara: View from This Side), etc. Shinohara's architectural publications span more than 50 years, and the heat has not diminished, and its impact is visible across generations.
