Architecture in Kyoto — machiya townhouses, temple gardens, and contemporary interventions navigating the tension between preservation and reinvention. Art galleries, tea rooms, concept stores, and residences in Japan's cultural capital.
Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa founded SANAA in Tokyo and changed what a museum or a house could be. Working in thin steel, glass and white surfaces, they strip building to its quietest terms, then push it further. Among the most influential figures of their generation, they design work that seems to disappear and, in disappearing, redefines the ground everyone else stands on. A growing collection.
