Title: Perspectives de vie à Londres et à Tokyo

URL: https://www.cca.qc.ca/perspectivesdevie/

Description: Perspectives de vie à Londres et à Tokyo imaginées par Stephen Taylor et Ryue Nishizawa marque la première présentation en Amérique du Nord des projets résidentiels de Taylor et Nishizawa et dévoile les solutions originales qu’ils apportent aux défis de la construction d’habitations au sein de tissus urbains denses existants. Londres et Tokyo constituent un terrain particulièrement propice à de telles études de cas, non seulement par leur échelle et la complexité de leur environnement bâti respectives, mais surtout en raison du développement continuel au cœur de ces villes qui redéfinit leurs trames urbaines. Si les deux villes sont confrontées à des problèmes d’aménagement urbain comparables, elles s’inscrivent néanmoins dans des contextes culturels différents où proximité, vie privée, collectivité et espace public prennent une signification autre et exigent des solutions distinctes.

Title: Some Ideas on Living in London and Tokyo

URL: https://www.cca.qc.ca/someideasonliving/

Description: Some Ideas on Living in London and Tokyo by Stephen Taylor and Ryue Nishizawa marks the first North American presentation of residential projects by architects Taylor and Nishizawa and reveals their distinctive solutions to the challenges of building homes in existing dense urban fabrics. London and Tokyo provide particularly relevant ground for case studies not only due to the scale and complexity of their respective built environments, but especially for the way in which their increasing densities call for a redefinition of urban living. While facing similar issues related to growth, the two cities occupy cultural contexts in which themes of proximity, privacy, community, and public space take on different meanings and require distinct solutions.
