INDIA INTERNATIONAL CENTRE
Cordially invites you to a Talk on
Architecture & Environment
Speaker: Kazuyo Sejima, Founder of SANAA and Professor at the Polytechnic University of Milan, Visiting professor at Japan Women’s University and Osaka University of Arts, an Emeritus Professor at Yokohama National University, and Director of the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum. Her notable works include House in Plum Grove, the Inujima Art House Project, and the Japan Women’s University Mejiro Campus. She directed the 12th International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale (2010) and is the recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the Venice Biennale Golden Lion Award, the Praemium Imperiale, and the Royal Gold Medal, among other honours.
Moderator: Prof. KT Ravindran, architect and former Head of Urban Design at School of Planning and Architecture (SPA).
About 40 years ago, Kazuyo Sejima began exploring how architecture might create a more seamless relationship between interior and exterior space. Her central question was: What kind of architecture can truly connect people with their surrounding environment? Over the decades, she has come to believe that achieving this connection enables us—those living in the present—to shape new landscapes while honouring the ones that already exist.
