Shinohara Kazuo ( Japanese 篠 原 一 男 ; * April 2, 1925 in Shizuoka ; † July 15, 2006 in Kawasaki ) was a Japanese architect of the late modern period.

Life

Shinohara completed a degree in mathematics at Tōhoku University in Sendai and then completed an architecture degree at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (TIT) with Kiyoshi Seike , which he graduated in 1953. He then opened his own studio. In 1970 he became a professor of architecture at the Tokyo Institute of Technology.

In the 1960s he went public with statements such as “The house is art” and “The bigger the house, the better”. In doing so, he took action against the increasingly mechanistic trend in architecture and established his own anti-rationalism. He has largely focused on home design as he is concerned with the relationship between the individual and the space for them.

With his first building, the "Kugayama House" (久 我 山 の 家) built in 1954, he already achieved international attention; he linked the design of the Katsura Palace with the architecture of Mies van der Rohe . Later followed the “residence under the umbrella” (傘 の 家, Karakasa no ie; 1966), the “house in white” (白 の 家, Shiro no ie; 1966), “residential houses on the Uehara-dōri” (上原 通 り住宅; 1976) in Tōkyō, "Tanigawa Residence" (谷川 さ ん の 住宅; 1979) in Nagano Prefecture and the "Century Hall" (東京 工業 大学 百年 記念 館, Tōkyō kōgyō daigaku hyakunen kinen-kan; 1987) on campus of the Tokyo Institute of Technology. - In the end, Shinohara also exceptionally created large buildings, such as the police headquarters in Kumamoto (熊 本 北 警察 署, Kumamoto-kita keisatsuchō).

Shinohara was considered a theorist who shaped an entire generation of Japanese architects such as Toyo Ito , Kazuyo Sejima and Itsuko Hasegawa . In the 1980s he was considered the “progressive anarchist” of Tokyo urban development.

In 2005 he was awarded the Grand Prize of the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ).
