S10E2 Conversations: A Living Museum of Modern Architecture

Following the relocation of the capital to Tokyo in the late 19th century, the residents of Kyoto eagerly embraced modernization. Numerous structures from that period, influenced by Western architectural styles, remain today. Professor Nakajima Setsuko from Kyoto University studies modern architecture, while Malian Oussouby Sacko, the president of Kyoto Seika University, focuses on Japanese architectural practices. Together, they explore how the evolution and renewal of modern architecture offer insights and potential direction for the future.
