Description
On Friday July 19 at 18:30, Shingo Masuda will give a lecture titled, “Architecture from Outside” at the Arper furniture showroom in Aoyama. This lecture will be held both in-person and online.
Japan fulfilled its massive post war housing demand in a little more than 30 years. Since 1974, the industry changed from speed and ease to “spatiality,” an abstract term invented to sustain production, from which an integrated spatial concept of "inside and outside" developed to the present. Interior spaces are most affected by the outside – for example views that enter the building from windows and openings can completely alter the interior. Space, environment, and experience are continuous from the city and surroundings to the inside of buildings, yet buildings are generally still designed from the inside out. This lecture and discussion will explore how to think about architecture beyond the building itself. Can we design from the outside in? How can we build up architecture from the outside?
