Norihiko Dan – Symbiotic Thoughts of Architecture
Architekturgalerie München, entrance above book shop L. Werner, Türkenstr. 30, 80333 München
Nature is everpresent in Japanese architect Norihiko Dan’s buildings. His architecture never stands alone, for Dan always seeks symbiosis; this appears in his combination of geometric-archetypical with organic forms, in his urban planning projects, which bring submerged historic and cultural identities back to light, as well as in the ecological orientation of his buildings. With dramatic contrasts in architectural language and choice of materials Norihiko Dan insistently calls for a relationship between human beings and their surroundings.
The complex and fascinating work of this architect, who has received many honors in Japan and Taiwan, is presented with this exhibition, as well as with the monograph published by JOVIS to a Western audience for the first time.
The opening of the exhibition will take place on July, 16 at 7 p.m with
Nicola Borgmann, Architekturgalerie München
Aaron Betsky, Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture
Gene King, Architekt und Autor, Taipeh
Norihiko Dan, Norihiko Dan and Associates, Tokio
