Houses are art for Japanese architect

AN exhibition will introduce famed Japanese architect Shinohara Kazuo to a local audience.

Kazuo’s architecture springs from Japanese traditions and everyday memories, but he develops the ideas further. Unlike other post-war architects in Japan such as the Metabolists, who drew on structuralism and urbanism to help redetermine architecture’s purpose, Kazuo focuses on the architecture’s autonomy, placing houses on a boundary between the social mirror and individual emotion.

He boldly proposed that “houses are art,” making houses his main subject. The exhibition runs through June 22 at Shanghai’s Power Station of Art.
