Encounters – with Kazuo Shinohara's Umbrella House [work in progress]
●
'Encounters' is a collaborative research and publishing project around 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.
