- Title

- Abstract
The Kokage-gumo project was created by Junya Ishigami as one of eight pavilions hosting the cultural program of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics. The structure consists in a sunshade installed in the garden of an old residence, built in charred cedar. As recurrent in his practice, Ishigami proposes an architecture that combines tradition and novelty, adjusting the site rather than imposing a radical reformation. In the Kokage-gumo project, Ishigami aims to create a space where built architecture blends into the context to become the backdrop for the garden. His design approach revolves around the opportunities arising from architecture’s interaction with its environment and the increased freedom endowed by passage of time. Such approach revolves on the notions of “actuality” and “permeation,” respectively the idea of enhancing the present state of things on site and a plan for a gradual consolidation of the project’s strength through percolating into it. Ishigami seeks to achieve a balance between tradition and novelty, harmony between architecture and environment.
