"What a wonderful world to live in"
It was amazing to walk around in the feeric univers of Junya Ishigami.The details was very consious made and you had a feeling that it was made in a world of a child.Trees and houses cutted out of paper,branches made of metall,cement, wood and water.He likes to think of achitecture as taking shape naturally, like a stone that forms over time ,through sedimentation and erosion.It is important that the nature has a place with the architecture.Junya Ishigami views the surrounding environment as an intergral part of each of his projects.He incorporates the scenery in his work,alaways elevating it and even going so far to transform it as he did at the Botanical Farm Garden Art Biotop/Water Garden in Japan.He created an artificial lake with a kilometer-long promenade and he displaced more that 300 trees to be replanted on a former meadow nearby.Junya Ishigami is a creator of a body of work that is filled with poetry and simplicity,and that conceals the genuine technical challenges involved in reflecting on humankind's place in architecture.
" I wish to think about architecture freely: to expand my perctive on achitecture as flexibly,broadly, and subtly as possible,beyond the stereotypes of what architecture is considered to be".
" It may be necessary to think about architecture in a context where all elements are considered with equal importants "
