My Favorite Architect
My post for today is about my favorite architect today.
My favorite architect is Kasujo Sejima, she was born in Ibaraki, Japan, in 1956, her mother was a housewife and her father an industrial engineer. In 1981 she graduated as an architect from Japan Women's University, her first work experience was as a scholarship from architect Toyo Ito, with whom she worked until 1987, when she established her own work space, Kazuyo Sejima and Associates. In 1992 she was named Young Japanese Architect of the Year by the Institute of Architects of Japan. In 1995, together with Ryue Nishizawa, who was her collaborator, she founded the Tokyo-based joint office Sejima and Nishizawa and Associates, SANAA. She has received numerous distinctions such as the Art of Education Award from the Tokyo Ministry of Education and the Japan Architecture Award in 2006; the StellaRe Award in Turin, the Erna Hamburger Award in Switzerland and the Official title of the Order of Arts and Letters in 2009; among others. In 2010, Kazuyo Sejima was the first woman to be appointed Director of the Architecture Sector, with specific responsibility for the curatorship of the 12th International Exhibition of Architecture at the Venice Biennale.
The simplicity and scale of what is necessary make up Sejima's complex personal and professional creative universe; non-independent, twinned, soluble spaces. What is necessary is imposed on the architect in the demand for the small and the everyday, but also in the demand and time invested in her work.
One of its main buildings is the Sumida Hokusai museum.
The work of Sejima I like too much by the cleanliness of the forms and the simplicity with which it executes it, in addition to the spatial atmosphere that it generates through these, it would be genial that they liked some of his works, Greetings!
