Summary:

Since 2010, Kazuyo Sejima has been involved in an unusual program for regenerating the small island community of Inujima. Working within a dense network of local residents, visiting artists, students, and tourists, Sejima directs a series of precise interventions that engage site-specific histories and landscape considerations. In this video, the architect outlines her process, discusses the benefits of working with the "smallness" of the island's context, and explains how her experience on Inujima has opened her eyes to the capacity of architects and users to actively shape the environment around them.
