unknown architecture from unreal to real

Kohki Hiranuma, an architect has a lot of works that he had no chance to realize because of their uniqueness.

However, his proposals aren’t superficial. They are trials which are realized by understanding the principle of nature, using technology and social systems.

This is the first exhibition of his in Japan. There is a part of his current work, “Space Lab, the University of Tokyo” in actual size. In addition, there are models and images of his works for 10 years including unpublished. They make us find out essential attraction of architectures which have taken root in the site.

Last but not least, I appreciate all of you who cooperate and support for this exhibition.
