junya ishigami‘s work process is strictly methodical and oriented toward expanding
the existing boundaries between design, architecture, and geography. the aesthetics
of concentration, the transparency, and the simplicity of his ideas, models, and
buildings are based on complex creative processes. ishigami presents his holistic
search for the right proportions in a new publication: how small? how vast? how
architecture grows, edited by chinatsu kuma, with texts by junya ishigami, and
graphic design by takuma hayashi.
‘for me, as a japanese person, natural elements are also always artificial.’ explains the
39-year-old, ‘there is no authentic nature – even forests and landscapes are artificially
created.’
