Japan, Archipelago of Houses

Having fascinated visitors in European cities including Brussels, Amsterdam and Paris, this exhibition focused on modern Japanese homes is finally making its way to our shores. A French quartet, namely photographer Jérémie Souteyrat and architects Véronique Hours, Fabien Mauduit and Manuel Tardits (of Mikan architecture firm fame), are behind it all, with the latter three being particularly well versed in all things Japanese architecture. The exhibition sees photographs, videos, drawings, sketches and models displayed at the Shiodome Museum, with the around 70 subjects ranging from famous historical dwellings to far more modern housing renditions. Up-and-coming local architect Kyohei Sakaguchi will also be dropping by as a guest artist to present drawings of his cutting-edge designs.
