Description
Summary:Itsuko Hasegawa has never viewed architecture as being a singular and isolated creative act by one individual - on the contrary, she is convinced that building should be a social event. Hence, she includes not only state-of-the-art CAD programs in each planning and design phase, but also the outcome of extensive interviews with future users of a given building.Hasegawa always allows some breathing space for the unforeseen and the unknown whenever building plans are transformed into architectural solutions for concrete activities and special functions. Her buildings- which combine clarity and playfulness and which are fullof energy stemming from the interplay of material, color, transparency and form - are places which enhance and inspire people's lives.
