CREATIVE PEOPLE OF JAPAN
Follow along as we meet a select group of creators from across Japan. Discover how they’re embracing new materials and techniques to redefine traditional crafts and architecture.
Junya Ishigami discusses why modern architecture needs to be flexible and adaptable to changing needs, as architectural designs take decades to come to fruition. For this reason, he says, “If you’re trying to keep up with trends, you’re always behind.”
Junya Ishigami is inspired by blending traditional elements with seamlessly integrated new materials. The aim is that both exist simultaneously. It is this creative process that he used when it came to designing the beautiful Art Biotop Water Garden, located in Nasu, Tochigi.
“I really want to make this kind of architecture so that people will want it to stay around for a long time.”
