Encounters – with Kazuo Shinohara's Umbrella House [work in progress]
●
'Encounters' is a collaborative bookwork about Kazuo Shinohara's 1961 Umbrella House. Bringing together contemporary responses to the building by international artists, architects and writers, the project offers timely new readings of Shinohara's work. Taking a practice-led approach and foregrounding the voices and positions of women, we aim to expand existing narratives around this seminal figure of post-war Japanese architecture. The book will be published in partnership with Passengers and Women Writing Architecture in 2025, the centenary of Shinohara's birth.
