Antwerp: 58 projects, realised and unrealized, designed by Junya Ishigami are shown at deSingel until the June 16th. The exhibition named “How small? How vast? How architecture grows” includes drawings, models and objects. In the first room there are eight wooden tables on which the projects are displayed.
For Junya Ishigami architecture is an experiment: he studies clouds, water, nature and landscape. His architecture is like entering the world of “Alice in the Wonderland”, a transparent and dreamy environment.
The exhibition was originally made for The Shiseido Gallery in Tokyo in 2010. Now it is coproduced by deSingel International Art Campus and Flemish Architecture Institute.
