From July to October, Kengo Kuma’s largest retrospective exhibition was held at the Fosun Art Center in Shanghai. He was expelled from Tokyo’s architectural industry for more than a decade for a building that was too radical in design, and he had to go to the countryside to start from scratch, making his big comeback step by step, gradually owning projects in more than 20 countries. In August, he came to Shanghai after not being seen in public for a long time, and we talked to him.

Set inside a simple 3.3.m x 10m white box with no windows and only one rectangular door, creating LoveHouse fulfilled architect Takeshi Hosaka’s dream to live in a house that feels like you are living outside. Entering the home, you’re greeted by a curved courtyard and outdoor staircase leading to the second floor of the house. The top, often used as a place to sit, read and drink coffee, leads into the main living space past a Griffiths Ash Tree and through a series of wooden framed glass pocket doors. The main living area is kept simple, with minimal furniture and only a candle for light. The adjoining kitchen accommodates a 2.7m counter, 3 burner gas stove, an integrated fridge and dishwasher neatly squeezed into a small space between the counter and the wall. The first floor, once the bedroom, is now used as a relaxation space, and also contains the toilet and bathroom. The home’s thoughtful design and indoor/outdoor lifestyle connect daily life with nature in a way seldom seen in cities.

Museums are changing rapidly, along with their architecture. They seek to become more open, more community-centered, more experiential, more digital, more connected to nature – and architects are enrolled to help realize these ambitions. This conversation explores how architecture can lead the way in advancing and enhancing the museum. How can architecture give expression to the museum’s democratic and inclusive aspirations and accommodate new forms of digital creativity? What are the responsibilities of museum architecture when it comes to raising ecological awareness and the ongoing process of decolonizing collections? Can architecture help maintain museums at the center of our civic life?

Iwan Baan is one of today’s leading photographers of architecture and urban design. His images document the growth of global megacities and portray buildings by prominent contemporary architects including Herzog & de Meuron, Rem Koolhaas, and Zaha Hadid. The first large retrospective of the Dutch photographer’s work will open at the Vitra Design Museum in autumn 2023. Baan’s vibrant realism puts the focus on people and their relationship to the built environment.
Thanks to the great scope of his vision, Baan’s works offer a broad panorama of human building that impressively demonstrates the existential importance of architecture and urban design.
