Kazuyo Sejima: The Art of Disappearance in Architecture

In this video, we delve into the fascinating world of Kazuyo Sejima’s architecture, exploring her unique approach to transparency and lightness. Discover how Sejima’s innovative designs challenge conventional architectural norms, creating structures that often seem to disappear into their surroundings. We examine her celebrated projects, including the Serpentine Pavilion and the Rolex Learning Center, to understand how her use of thin facades and ethereal forms creates a sense of illusion and elegance. Join us as we explore the visual and emotional impact of Sejima’s work and discuss her contributions to contemporary architecture. Special thanks to Luis Fernández Galiano for the insightful Spanish presentation, which provided a deep understanding of Sejima’s architectural approach.
