The School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering of Politecnico di Milano opens the renovated exhibition space by displaying some of the most significant projects designed by Kazuyo Sejima, founder with Ryūe Nishizawa of SANAA in 1995, Pritzker Prize in 2010, and Professor at Politecnico di Milano since 2015.
The exhibition “SANAA: Construction and structure (with works of Walter Niedermayr)” presents a selection of the projects of the office, among which Bocconi University New Urban Campus (2019), EPFL Rolex Learning Center (2010), Japan Women’s University Library (2019), Tsuruoka Cultural Center (2018), Toledo Glass Museum (2006). The seemingly ephemeral and immaterial spaces designed by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryūe Nishizawa are here narrated in their process of realization and construction through models, projections, and the work of Walter Niedermayr, an Italian artist/photographer who has been maintaining a dialogue and an artistic collaboration with the Japanese studio for over two decades.
