ryue nishizawa

last week there was a lecture from mr nishizawa at gsd.
he talked about few projects some of his own and some of sanaa!
it was a really nice lecture from a very nice architect with lots of humor!
as we already know he has designed together with kazuyo sejima the toledo glass museum which bee-zee has extensively presented!

my friend and talented young architect liberdade came back from japan and posted photos of my favorite moriyama house!
it is designed by ryue nishizawa!
the house is a cluster of buildings where every room is a seperate building!
the idea was also that part of the building could be rent when not in use;
an idea i explored also on a undergraduate house studio [not to this level though!!!]
i think now [according to liberdade] 6 owners live in moriyama house.
in the past i had found an entry on moriyama house in gravestmor with photos [scanned?] from domus 888.

photo taken from here.

check more on liberdade's tour from the building of the century [which century i wonder] sendai mediatheque!
