This issue of av proyectos features seven projects by SANAA and more...
Pritzker laureates in 2010 and authors of prominent works like the Zollverein School of Design, the Rolex Learning Center, and the Louvre-Lens Museum, Kazuyo Sejima (Ibaraki, 1956) and Ryue Nishizawa (Tokyo, 1966) set up SANAA in the capital of Japan in 1995 with the name Sejima + Nishizawa and Associates. Twenty years have passed and the office stays true to its architecture, refined and immaterial. With thin slabs delicately posed on the ground, slender columns and light, diffused envelopes, their projects - seven of which are presented in this magazine - reflect upon the relationship between program and context, creating atmospheres that question our perception of reality.
