Architects born in the 1960s came to the forefront of the architectural scene in the period following the bursting of Japan’s bubble economy in the 1990s.

This exhibition presents a surging architectural wave raised concurrently by 10 units of young architects.—Taro Igarashi
August 2―September 30, 2000
Exhibitor: Waro Kishi
Architecture does indeed have a certain dimension that is expressible in a gallery, that is, an aspect that can be expressed on an abstract level. That is why we have the exhibition format in the first plece. However, architecture has another aspect grounded in reality. In coming into being, architecture responds to diverse conditions; e.g. site, society, economy and culture.—Waro Kishi

I’m interested in composition. But I don’t wish to design actual buildings for the sake of “expressing” the composition. I’m interested in structure. But I don’t wish to express structure.—Jun Aoki

“Open Technology”, the underlying theme of the exhibiton, is, simply put, the idea that a new world is out there. We can catch a glimpse of that world if we examine the implications of gardening, a currently fashionable pastime. If we can think about and create our own garden, then why can’t we think about and create our own environments?—Osamu Ishiyama
September 25―November 20, 1999
Exhibitor: Kaoru Mende
“Manners” are necessary to lay the trap of comfortable air using light. We learn manners in architectural lighting design from nature, from historical architecture and from the techniques of great architects. Through this exhibition I decided to fully disclose the limitlessly liberal creative energy of lighting design and the somewhat more limited but profound craftsmanship of light.—Kaoru Mende
July 2―September 4, 1999
Exhibitor: Chiaki Arai
“Architecture for arousing”, that is, architecture that rouses or inspirits, must be part of a larger cultural activity prior to and after cnstruction. It is necessary to lift people’s spirits, that is, to make people feel that the building is their own.

There are wonderful sections that speak eloquently of space. My desire has long been to create works of architecture in which such sections appear. In this exhibition, I am presenting in plan and three-dimensional form a number of sections I have conceived.—Yutaka Saito

I hope that not only representing form but everything including selection of materials and handmade details induces various movements of people through the all process of creation, which results in representing fresh scenery. —Kazuko Fujie
April 4―May 24, 1997
Exhibitor: Oscar Niemeyer
I am not attracted by straight angles. Nor by straight, head and inflexible lines created by man.
I am attracted by free-flowing, sensuous cueves.

Exhibitor: Neil M. Denari
For Denari, contemporary architecture exists within a society filled with a mixture of coded images that trancends the concrete “thing” itself. Denari seeks to discover the possibilities of architecture within such a society, as well as how architecture can be made to fuse with society. Denari offered one solution to these questions in the space of GALLERY·MA.

Exhibitors: Eisaku Ushida, Kathryn Findlay
Usually when we walk around the city we hold a map of it in our minds framed by the memory of our own space. Each person has their individual image of the city based on that person’s psychological or physical experiences, consequently we walk around that city as if referring to some sort of personal navigational chart.
March 15―April 27, 1996
Direction: Yutaka Saito
Candela has taken the simple geometric shape of the HP shell and used it to introduce a dazzling array of variations into architecture. All of his works, including this enormous 60m×90m space, are constructed in four centimeter thick reinforced concrete.
