Takaharu Tezuka Interview / Tezuka Architects
07.22.09 / 2009 · Chile · Interview · Santiago · Takaharu Tezuka · Tezuka Architects
Interview to Takaharu Tezuka [1964 -]. Together with Yui Tezuka he founded Tezuka Architects in 1994. He studied at Musashi Institute of Technology and the University of Pennsylvania. Buildings like the Roof House, the ‘Kyororo’ Matsunoyama Natural Science Museum and the Fuji Kindergarten have been awarded internationally. Tezuka Architects recently published Takaharu+Yui Tezuka Architecture Catalogue 2 [Toto, 2009].
In this interview we asked Takaharu Tezuka about his relation with the current Japanese architecture panorama and how his occidental architecture training [studies in USA and work in Richard Rogers Partnership] determine his position in architecture, looking the city [the inspiration of certain Japanese architects] not in a positive way, trying to escape from the chaos of Tokyo. He also talked about his relation with Yui Tezuka, how they run their office and how they work in their projects [from a scheme to hundred models in some cases].
