Extracto de un artículo de Gerrard O’Carroll encontrado en bdOnline, sobre una conferencia del arquitecto japonés Kengo Kuma en el Royal Academy of Arts de Londres en la que dió un avenca de su teoría de "weak architecture"
His largely semi-rural buildings are sensual expressions of his interest in materials, especially the traditional Japanese ones of stone, bamboo and wood. Sited in enviably beautiful locations, his buildings allow him to explore the symbiotic relationship between nature and architecture. The work almost convinces me of the validity of his thesis, which he calls “weak buildings”.
Weak buildings, he says, avoid monumentality, allowing form and idea to cohere. They play with sensation and sensibility, they invite nature to participate alongside humans, but also recognise that technology and modernity are part of the contemporary tradition. It is obvious, however, that they come with a high price tag.
