Kengo Kuma (隈 研吾, Kuma Kengo, born 1954) is a Japanese architect and professor at the Graduate School of Architecture at the University of Tokyo. Frequently compared to contemporaries Shigeru Ban and Kazuyo Sejima, Kuma is also noted for his prolific writings.
Kuma was born in Yokohama, and attended Eiko Gakuen junior and senior high schools. After graduating in Architecture from the University of Tokyo in 1979, he worked for a time at Nihon Sekkei and Toda Corporation. He then moved to New York in the USA for further studies at Columbia University as a visiting researcher from 1985 to 1986.
In 1987, he founded the "Spatial Design Studio", and in 1990, he established his own office "Kengo Kuma & Associates". He has taught at Columbia University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Keio University, where in 2008, Kuma was awarded his Ph.D. in Architecture. As a professor at the Graduate School of Architecture at the University of Tokyo, he runs diverse research projects concerning architecture, urbanity and design within his own Laboratory, Kuma Lab. His office Kengo Kuma & Associates employs over 150 architects in Tokyo and Paris, designing projects of diverse type and scale throughout the world.

The great disaster of March 11, 2011 differed from any other catastrophe since the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake. In the age of advanced technology and "strong" buildings, the tsunami flattened Tohoku coastline in seconds. The nuclear accident that followed further revealed the vulnerability of "big and strong" architecture. In the face of radiation, materials such as concrete and steel were insufficient, even though nuclear energy had been a solution for our drive to be bigger, stronger, and more efficient. Now that this modernization process has collapsed on itself, we must start again from scratch. Kengo Kuma of Kengo Kuma and Associates, Tokyo, will discuss how architecture can respond to this epochal challenge. Kengo Kuma was born in 1954. He completed his master's degree at the University ...

Kengo Kuma has revealed plans for his first building in Australia, a cylindrical civic centre by Sydney's Darling Harbour that will feature the Japanese architect's characteristic timber cladding. Ribbons of light-coloured wood will wrap the curving building known as The Darling Exchange in an "organic and spontaneous manner" said Kuma. Its six curving floor plates are shifted off-centre and walkways are angled to create a spiralling form – not dissimilar to the design developed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron for a new college at the University of Oxford. The building will contain a library, childcare centre and market hall as well as a rooftop bar and restaurant with views over Tumbalong Park, the Chinese Gardens and Cockle Bay. It will also host a "makerspace" and Innovation E...

ARCHITECTURE FOR DOGS http://architecturefordogs.com MOUNT PUG by KENGO KUMA for PUG http://architecturefordogs.com/architectures/kengo-kuma/ Mount Pug is a mesh-shaped "mountain," assembly of thin and long 600mm (plywood) pieces as "branches." By combining the unevenness of each branch to form in hexagon and triangle, the "branches" begin to support each other as if the cells of living creatures. The "mountain" can gain enough strength from it without nails or a bond. Pug is clever and mischievous. It makes full use of the mesh as its nest and plaything. Toys and snacks can also be hung on the mesh. 長さは600mmの細長い「枝」を用いたメッシュ状の「山」である。「枝」同士の凹凸をかみ合わせて六角形と三角形の形状に組んでいくと、生物の細胞のように「枝」同士がお互いを支えあう。釘やボンドを使わずに強度のある「山」ができる。パグはやんちゃで賢く、メッシュを巣として、そして遊具として使いこなす。おもちゃやおやつもメッシュに吊るせる。

Kengo Kuma: Architect and Designer of New Olympic Stadium
World-renowned architect Kengo Kuma discusses respect for nature and history in architecture in this interview with BIJ.TV. Speaking at MIPIM Japan 2015, a conference for professionals in the real estate industry, Kuma explained how respecting history means valuing the wisdom of people who, with care and passion, have created that history. Key to this are the architects of our cities and towns. Hear his ideas to boost Japan economically and culturally, how his vision of a smart city differs from that of many people around the world, and what he believes is Japan's treasure. 世界的建築家である隈研吾氏は、不動産・金融業界関係者が一堂に会した「MIPIM Japan 2015」で講演を行い、建築において自然と歴史を尊敬する事の大切さを説きました。歴史を尊敬するということ、それはその歴史を創った人々の心と知恵の価値を理解することです。そして、その価値を理解するためのカギとなるのが、街の建築です。BIJ.TVの独占インタビューでは、日本の文化と経済の更なる発展、スマートシティの考え方、そして日本人の宝について...
«Sono molto soddisfatto dei risultati realizzativi del progetto; in particolare, ancora una volta, ho potuto ammirare le qualità dell'artigianato e della tecnologia italiani. Il sistema di questa struttura è unico e ha rappresentato una grande sfida, tuttavia la realizzazione è stata molto sofisticata e delicata. Credo che in Italia l'artigianato sia una parte fondamentale della cultura e lo stesso vale per il Giappone. Anche nel mio paese l'artigianato è un fondamento della società e della sua cultura. Il concetto di "monumento" classico è statico e sempre molto coerente in sé. Casalgrande Ceramic Cloud è certamente un'altra cosa rispetto all'idea di monumento. CCCloud si offre a seconda della situazione in modo diverso; dipende dal movimento della luce, dal movimento del sole, ed ...
