TOTO GALLERY·MA is pleased to present the exhibition "Architecture & Environment" by Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa / SANAA. This exhibition is mainly composed of the latest projects that Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa are undertaking in Japan and around the world.
SANAA has been addressing the theme of "architecture and environment" for many years. As exemplified in their works including the Rolex Learning Center, EPFL (Switzerland, 2009) and the Louvre-Lens (France, 2012), they offer possibilities for rich and free interaction among people and new relationship with the surroundings by softly connecting the inside and outside and enhancing the circulation of people. They realize a way of architecture where the building becomes a medium through which people's lives and the environment are interwoven to create a single landscape. Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa have received numerous awards including the Pritzker Prize (2010) for their architectural work. This will be their second solo exhibition at TOTO GALLERY·MA since 2003, introducing the trajectory of their work from then on by showing not only SANAA projects, but also the works of Sejima and Nishizawa's individual offices. This will be an unique opportunity to have a glimps of the ongoing evolution of Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa / SANAA.
