Currently studying Kengo Kuma’s work for my undergraduate architectural design project which is also linked to sustainability. What are the odds, thanks for sharing!

How did it work out?!!

Man those building are really beautiful! Wood is by far the most sustainable construction material, yet resistant, durable and aesthetically pleasant. In Europe we build too much in concrete and stone. We build houses that last centuries to live just 50 years into it. Then demolishing concrete houses is more expensive than building new ones. That's why constructions keep crop up and cities expand.

Kengo Kuma! Inspiring works.. definetly provides more groundedness in pursuit of sustainability.. not just he works but how the community interacts with the architecture..

Such an amazing architect. I loved to hear about the thoughts behind his work.

This Chanel will always have a place in my heart

Amazing! Thanks for this.

Sustainability was mentioned alot, but it wasn’t mentioned once how his designs are actually sustainable. Natural materials cost less CO2 to make, but is the wood being sustainably harvested?

Yes actually, good timber manufacturers get their wood in a sustainably managed forest where more trees are planted than harvested :)

Kengo Kuma has shown modernity tempered with sustainability is the future all rolled into one without being boring.

I love that he uses natural & local materials and tries for as low-rise as possible - BUT sadly for me with my brain injury all the lines and patterns (and light-dark) are exhausting to look at and I think this would also be the case for me to be inside them: I need (and there are many like me) flat (mostly) and matt surfaces that my broken brain & vision can understand easily without becoming exhausted from too much visual stimulation.

Concrete has surprisingly short amount of lifespan, around 60-80 years. Unlike old architecture like Rome cathedral or medieval castles that can last hundreds of years

I do think Kengo Kuma is a great architect - but the focus on sustainability in this story seems a little off for me - at least with the buildings being shown still using a lot of glass, steel and concrete in both the facade and construction. There is no absolute sustainability in the build environment - it all has a cost. Some buildings get close in capturing a lot of CO2 by the use of a wooden structure, but that will definetely need to include the main construction as well as loadbearing walls as well. And even in that case, the need for transportation (even shorter distances) and the use of glass and some iron will have a CO2 impact. Please be aware, that there is no sustainable architecture found in the current paradigme, especially in modern, cooporate architecture, but that there needs to be a focus on "harm-reduction" in the build environment as well as longevity - only then can we start talking about any form of sustainability.

the trees get chopped down AND replant new ones.. thats where the resources are being gathered. and its not like all buldings are made of wood. it's all about managing which resources can be used in relation to design and availability

In my insignificant opinion - sustainability has ruined the old profession of architecture along with wiping clean all of the craft knowledge from the craftsman that build our buildings. It is also a buzzword used in place of the true meaning - that it is cheaper and more economical for the property developer.

That was.. not very in depth or interesting. Also not what the title told me to expect.
