08 KAZUYO SEJIMA - Il minimalismo lirico giapponese - Pippo Ciorra

Full video available at https://www.eduflix.it Kazuyo Sejima was born in 1956 in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. At twenty-five, she graduated from Tokyo Women's University and was promptly hired by one of the greatest contemporary architects, Toyo Ito. Her apprenticeship lasted six years, and in 1987, Sejima was ready to start her own business. Her projects immediately received major recognition, such as the Kumamoto women's dormitory, a modern reinterpretation of a Zen monastery. In 1995, together with her collaborator Ryue Nishizawa, she founded the SANAA studio, with which she created her most famous works, in which she developed a style characterized by transparency, luminous variations, and delicate minimal forms, achieved through a refined use of the most advanced technologies.
