The University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design & Planning is pleased to present a public talk by award-winning architect Junya Ishigami.

Junya Ishigami “has been challenging preconceptions and overturning established conventions of architecture” for over a decade, according to The Architectural Review. His architectural ethos embodies a harmonious integration of minimalism, nature, and fluidity, crafting ethereal spaces that dissolve boundaries between the built environment and its surroundings.

After completing the Master's program at the Department of Architecture in Tokyo University of the Arts, he founded junya.ishigami+associates in 2004, having previously worked at Kazuyo Sejima & Associates.

Some of his notable works encompass the Kanagawa Institute of Technology KAIT Workshop / KAIT Plaza, the Park Groot Vijversburg Visitor Center, the Botanical Garden Art Biotop “Water Garden,” the Serpentine Pavilion 2019, and the House & Restaurant.

Junya Ishigami has been honored with prestigious awards, including the Architectural Institute of Japan Prize (2009), the Golden Lion award for the best project at the Venice Biennale 12th International Architecture Exhibition, the Mainichi Design Award (2010), The Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s Art Encouragement Prize for New Artists (of fine arts), and the OBEL AWARD by the Henrik Frode Obel Foundation (2019).

This event, My Works, will be a rare chance for an Australian audience to hear directly from the internationally renowned architect.
