His latest creations include Vitra Campus Garden House, HHH House - Tokyo and Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary art as well as numerous exhibitions. He will speak about projects and his manifesto: Tsuyoshi believes in the idea of architecture belongs to a memory of place that connects its past to the future as his concept -
“Archaeology of the Future”.
"We aspire to create an architecture that nobody has ever seen, experienced, or imagined yet. It is different from something new, something futuristic which doesn't fit the place. We believe that architecture begins from the memory of the place, the memory that can be continued from the past, that will continue to the future.
We begin our work like archaeologists as we start to explore a long distance in time and excavate memories of the place. It is a process of surprise and discovery, of searching to encounter what we didn't know, what we had forgotten, and what was lost due to modernization and globalization. We believe there are always memories in the place that are deeply embedded beneath the ground and in history. By this process of thinking from the past to the future, the memory of the place slowly becomes architecture.
Now, we believe that memory is not something that belongs in the past but is a driving force to create an architecture of the future.
Architecture in memory of a place-we call it Archaeology of the Future."
The lecture is made with the kind support from Sasakawa Foundation.
