Suzuko Yamada studied landscape design and architecture, worked at the renowned Sou Fujimoto Architects, and established her own practice in 2013. Today, she belongs to a new generation of Japanese architects rethinking the relationship between the house, the city, nature, and everyday life. <\/p>\n\n

In her lecture \u201cPolyphonic Architecture,\u201d Yamada will speak about architecture as a polyphonic structure. In her work, a building is not understood as a closed object or a system of clearly separated functions. Instead, space is composed through layers, rhythms, and mutual responses. Structures, plants, furniture, stairs, curtains, books, and people become equal participants in architecture. <\/p>\n

This approach is especially visible in her Tokyo house \u201cdaita2019,\u201d where timber structure, steel pipes, terraces, plants, and everyday objects form a dense yet open living landscape. Yamada\u2019s architecture raises the question of how to create not a controlling, but an open environment \u2014 one that allows the world to sound in several voices at once. <\/p>\n\n

The event is organised in partnership with the Lithuanian Culture Institute. The lecture will be held in English. <\/p>\n
