The Japanese architect Kazuhiro Kojima, in partnership with Kazuko Akamatsu in the office C + A, works with rather unusual strategies as the driving force of his projects. Kojima doesn’t use form as a starting point-instead, his buildings are the outcome of situating space itself at the centre of discourse, plus concepts linked to the fluidity and instability of the phenomena that go to form a building. The fluidity and instability of life and of space itself are concepts rooted in the traditional Japanese culture Kojima reinterprets and manipulates in a contemporary way. The outside of one of his buildings is, therefore, the secondary expression of what has given rise to the inside. |
