DESIGN PEAK 05: SHUHEI ENDO

Description

Bubbletecture, Gravitecture, Slowtecture, Rooftecture, Looptecture, and Halftecture; labels Shuhei Endo uses to create an architecture directly engaged in the present and based on reality, a witness to his age. Endo’s work is a type of architecture that in principle values overlaying and enveloping, fitting and merging with the setting. He chooses sheet steel, arguably a poor-looking material at first glance but a commonplace material found throughout the entire world. Includes an interview with Endo by Frederic Migayrou.
