In this brief excerpt from his lecture on 14 May, Ryue Nishizawa describes Flower House, a small residential project in Europe designed with his partner Kazuyo Sejima at SANAA. Built on a site overlooking an apple orchard, the house is completely transparent, with an acrylic façade that serves as the main structure and blends into the surrounding landscape.
