Abstract

In 1964 Hasegawa graduated from the Department of Architecture, Kanto Gakuin University, the strongest formalist school in Japan. Since then she has challenged the current tendency to analyze in a formalist way. Koji's essay suggests that Hasegawa's work should be viewed in social terms. He dismisses those who see only a gaudy facade, asserting that Hasegawa's work should not be regarded simply as stimulating design Hasegawa recognizes the potential for society's transformation. Her dialogue-based programme allows for an empathetic approach to architecture. In her own essay, she cites the Shiranui Psychiatric Hospital and Stress Care Centre in Ohmuta, where she and the client discussed for three years the relationship between architecture and medical care, to ensure a holistic architectural response. This experimental therapeutic space was achieved through use of light reflected from the sea, which also registers the natural rhythm of the tides. Similarly, for the Shonandai Cultural Centre, Hasegawa involved the local residents in close communication with the design team. Through her reciprocal method of planning, she provides a flexible type of architecture which accepts a diversity of individuals

Abstract

Itsuko Hasegawa has never viewed architecture as being a singular and isolated creative act by one individual – on the contrary, she is convinced that building should be a social event. Hence, she includes not only state-of-the-art CAD programs in each planning and design phase, but also the outcome of extensive interviews with future users of a given building. Hasegawa always allows some breathing space for the unforeseen and the unknown whenever building plans are transformed into architectural solutions for concrete activities and special functions. Her buildings – which combine clarity and playfulness and which are full of energy stemming from the interplay of material, color, transparency and form – are places which enhance and inspire people's lives.This monograph presents the 16 most significant buildings and projects in the 1990s: museums and galleries, schools, sport and recreation centers, and apartment buildings, and includes contributions by Patrice Goulet and Koji Taki. Itsuko Hasegawa is published in collaboration with the Institut Francais. d'Architecture,?Paris

Abstract

Examines the social uses of architectural drawing: how it acts to direct architecture; how it helps define what is important about a design; and how it embodies claims about the architect's status and authority. Case study narratives are included with drawings from projects at all stages.
