59: Takeshi Hayatsu

Takeshi Hayatsu is an architect based in London and founding director of Hayatsu Architects. “ …That sort of fear, and darkness beyond our control that exists in the natural world is something we’ve somehow forgotten following the modernist movement […] People tend to become arrogant – we assume we control everything – so animism and symbolism are things I’m interested in, in terms of finding ways to pay respect to nature, in a way that should really come back more now in the age of environmental crisis.” The "Red School" architects mentioned in this episode include: Takamasa Yoshizaka Yuko Saito Osamu Ishiyama Terunobu Fujimori Keisuke Oka Other references: Genpei Aksegawa – Leader of "Rojo street observation society" Ferdinand Cheval – architect of the "Ideal Palace"
