AIA Japan - Evolution of Japanese architecture: from Metabolism to Minimalism
When: Saturday 26 July 2025 @ 21:00 (Eastern US Time)/ 10:00 (Japan time)
Where: In-Person (Gensler Tokyo Office)/ ONLINE
Description
Join AIA Japan for a special lecture by Professor Botond Bognar, where he will investigate a spatial genealogy in modern and contemporary Japanese architecture—tracing the evolution from Arata Isozaki’s visionary “City in the Air” to the refined minimalism of SANAA. His lecture will explore how ideas of space and form have transformed across generations of architects, guided by shifting cultural and conceptual frameworks. The lecture will offer a compelling account of how spatial thinking in Japan has navigated between complexity and simplicity, structure and void—ultimately reshaping the architectural landscape.
