Lecture

Metabolism, the first Asian avant-garde architectural movement, was founded in 1959 by young Japanese architects, theorists and designers like Kisho Kurokawa and Kenzo Tange against a background of rapid postwar economic growth in Japan. Internationally acclaimed architect Rem Koolhaas, who co-authored Project Japan: Metabolism Talks (Taschen 2011) with Hans Ulrich Obrist, speaks about the movement, its importance and its enormous impact on contemporary architecture.

Followed by a reception.
