This is the second course of architecture series. We will focus on works by architects who explored the use of technology—from techniques used for traditional crafts to computational processes—as a vehicle for their investigations into the conceptualization and production of architecture.
Tadao Ando, Kazuhiko Namba, Shigeru Ban, Manabu Chiba, Kengo Kuma, and Yusuke Obuchi will visit their buildings to discuss the ideas behind their respective works.
