The combination of traditional Japanese principles with a modern approach characterizes the architecture of Kengo Kuma. Among his significant buildings is the new Victoria and Albert Museum in the Scottish city of Dundee, whose facade resembles a rock. In Japan, he designed the Research Center at the Prostho GC Museum, inspired by the regular cubic structure of the old Japanese toy Cidori. He is also the author of the new Olympic Stadium in Tokyo, built on the site of the old national sports complex. It is made from wooden elements sourced from various parts of Japan, primarily from an area where forests were destroyed by a tsunami. Kengo Kuma has also written several publications, including Anti-Object, Natural Architecture, and Small Architecture. The lecture will be conducted in English.
