REGISTER - TERUNOBU FUJIMORI

Register - Architecture & Landscape

In this episode we are joined by Prof Terunobu Fujimori and Takeshi Hayatsu. Their collaboration through the work of Unit 5 here in Kingston (run by Takeshi) is reaching a culmination this year with the making of a Japanese teahouse for the Barbican Japanese House exhibition. In this discussion we talk about how Prof Fujimori started to make buildings, and the challenges he faces as he now works on progressively larger works. We talk about the value of theory and criticism, and about the times when it is necessary to let the work talk for itself. https://www.barbican.org.uk/artgallery/event-detail.asp?ID=19951 Credits: Register is brought to you by the Department of Architecture & Landscape at Kingston University. fada.kingston.ac.uk/al/ Head of Department: Eleanor Suess Unit 5 Leader: Takeshi Hayatsu Register Editor: Timothy Smith Interviewer: Andrew Clancy Audio: Justin Howard
