Another 74 exhibits, including video works and a mobile home displayed in front of the museum, will immerse viewers in Kuma\u2019s vision. All texts introducing sections of the exhibition and individual works were written by Kuma himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, video pieces have been commissioned from cutting-edge contemporary artists such as Takimoto Mikiya, Fujii Hikaru, and the McGloughlin Brothers, creating an environment that illuminates Kuma\u2019s architecture from a variety of perspectives. There will also be a 360-degree VR simulation that allows people to experience interior spaces, and a presentation of results of \u201cA Plan for Tokyo, 2020: Five Purr-fect Points for Feline Architecture,\u201d a research project that reinterprets the urban environment from the perspective of cats. The organizers\u2019 hope is that this exhibition, which will take place during a time of numerous challenges due to the COVID-19 crisis, will offer valuable opportunities to think in new ways about public space and the future of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n    <div class=\"momat-button-download\">\n        <a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/KengoKuma_floormap-list.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">\n            List of Works (PDF)        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"595\" height=\"840\" src=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2021_kumakengo-poster-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-80885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2021_kumakengo-poster-1.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2021_kumakengo-poster-1-142x200.jpg 142w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section01\" class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exhibition Highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Kuma\u2019s Unique Approach to \u201cPlaces Where People Gather\u201d Explored Through Five Principles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kuma feels that there is something soul-crushing about the 20th century\u2019s concrete and steel structures, and his goal is to create more human-friendly architecture. This exhibition explores his methodology for a new public space, i.e. for the various places where people gather, through 68 works classified under the five principles of \u201chole,\u201d \u201cparticles,\u201d \u201coblique,\u201d \u201csoftness,\u201d and \u201ctime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. High-Tech Experiential Exhibits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cReal,\u201d immersive experiences of Kuma\u2019s architecture are offered through new video works produced for this exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;1) Six Kuma Projects in Yusuhara, Kochi, by Takimoto Mikiya (with Sakamoto Ryuichi)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yusuhara, a small mountain town in Kochi Prefecture, Japan, is home to six Kuma projects ranging from the early years to his latest work. The photographer and filmmaker Takimoto Mikiya filmed these sites with a high-speed camera and created a compellingly real 4K video installation. With music by Sakamoto Ryuichi, it immerses viewers in the beauty of these works inspired by traditional Japanese architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) Time-Lapse Film of the V&amp;A Dundee<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Kuma Kengo was selected to design the V&amp;A Dundee, the first branch of the Victoria and Albert Museum outside London. Here it is dynamically captured in an avant-garde time-lapse video by the Ireland-based McGloughlin Brothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) 360-Degree VR Simulation of the Highly Popular \u201cTOYAMA Kirari\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>TOYAMA Kirari, a multi-purpose complex in Toyama Prefecture, Japan housing a library, museum, and bank, has a distinctive structure with a soaring oblique atrium. A drone was flown in this space, and filmed it to produce a 360-degree virtual reality simulation. Wearing a head-mounted display, visitors can plunge into a full-body experience of Kuma\u2019s architectural space, which lasts approximately seven minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*Admission to the 360-degree VR simulation is limited to those aged 13 and up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Kuma Looks to Cats to Show Us the City\u2019s Future<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1961, in advance of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the architect Tange Kenzo (1913-2005) published \u201cA Plan for Tokyo 1960,\u201d a groundbreaking proposal to build a floating city over Tokyo Bay, in an architectural journal. As a response to this legendary proposal, here Kuma presents the results of \u201cA Plan for Tokyo, 2020: Five Purr-fect Points for Feline Architecture,\u201d a research project that reinterprets the urban environment from a very different perspective. While Tange looked at the city from above when creating his plan for a human-built megastructure on the water, Kuma arrived at the idea of looking at it from below, from the vantage point of cats. He&nbsp;collaborated&nbsp;with Takram, one of Japan\u2019s top design engineering firms, on the presentation of this heartwarming yet radical vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Video Produced with the Cooperation of the Public and the Client<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The artist Fujii Hikaru filmed everyday activities unfolding at Nagaoka City Hall Aore, enlisting the help of local volunteers and NPOs to document this city office which has such a vibrant scene that people visit from all over Japan. Meanwhile, the artist Tsuda Michiko visited the town of Minamisanriku in Miyagi Prefecture and Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture and filmed interviews with their mayors, building users, and clients on the theme of disaster recovery and architecture. Of course, there is also a video interview with Kuma himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>5. Special Presentation of Models and Lighting for Japan National Stadium<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition includes a special display of lampshades used in the athlete interview zone, not accessible to the general public, at Japan National Stadium, which Kuma participated in designing. For his design of these fixtures, Kuma envisioned the quintessentially Japanese light of paper lanterns and sunlight through bamboo blinds. Also on view will be approximately 40 items strictly selected from among the huge number of models produced as studies for various parts of Japan National Stadium, including interior furnishings, the building\u2019s louvers and the pedestrian deck. These will be unveiled at an exhibition for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/11_InstallationViewTokyo_96dpi.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/11_InstallationViewTokyo_96dpi.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/11_InstallationViewTokyo_96dpi-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/11_InstallationViewTokyo_96dpi-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;Particles&#8221; section<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/12_InstallationViewTokyo_96dpi.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/12_InstallationViewTokyo_96dpi.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/12_InstallationViewTokyo_96dpi-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/12_InstallationViewTokyo_96dpi-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;Softness&#8221; section<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13_InstallationViewTokyo_96dpi.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13_InstallationViewTokyo_96dpi.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13_InstallationViewTokyo_96dpi-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13_InstallationViewTokyo_96dpi-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Garden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">\u00a9Kioku Keizo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section02\" class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kuma Kengo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Born 1954. Before establishing Kengo Kuma and Associates (KKAA) in 1990, he received his Master\u2019s Degree in Architecture from the University of Tokyo, where he is currently a university professor and professor emeritus. Having been inspired by Tange Kenzo\u2019s Yoyogi National Gymnasium, built for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Kuma decided to pursue architecture at a young age, and later entered the Architecture program at the University of Tokyo, where he studied under Hara Hiroshi and Uchida Yoshichika. After his time as a visiting scholar at Columbia University in New York, he established his office in Tokyo. Since then, KKAA has designed architectural works in over twenty countries and received prestigious awards, including the Architectural Institute of Japan Award, the Mainichi Art Award, the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology\u2019s Art Encouragement Prize, the Spirit of Nature Wood Architecture Award (Finland), and the International Stone Architecture Award (Italy), among others.
