Encounters – with Kazuo Shinohara's Umbrella House [work in progress]
●
'Encounters' is an artist's book 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 2025, the centenary of Shinohara's birth.
