Tomoaki Uno develops, plans and builds wooden buildings according to traditional craftsmanship – but in a contemporary architectural language.
The Japanese architect’s online lectures are very popular worldwide.
Outside of Japan, he is rarely seen in person, and in Europe only once in Oslo.
The Faculty of Design at Coburg University of Applied Sciences is therefore particularly pleased that Uno 2024 will be presenting a work report at Campus.Design Open.
The Faculty of Design at Coburg University of Applied Sciences combines the Architecture, Interior Design, Civil Engineering and Integrated Product Design courses and will be presenting over 50 exhibitions, ten workshops and more than a dozen lectures at the Campus.Design Open from Thursday, May 9 to Saturday, May 11.
On Friday, May 10, the focus will be on Japan from 1 pm.
Among others, Dr. Christoph Henrichsen, art historian and Japanologist, will introduce the topic of “Wood Culture Japan” at 3.15 pm.
The highlight will be Tomoaki Uno’s work report at 4 pm.
A unique feature of his architecture is the independent implementation of his designs.
He is characterized by his active presence on the construction site, works closely with craftsmen and craftswomen and always remains in contact with the clients.
Instead of a strict separation of design and implementation, he maintains the integral unity of both aspects.
This guarantees control down to the last detail and a flexible response to challenges.
He also developed his own method of building construction through iterative experimental processes – i.e. constant further development – which enables him to realize his visions without compromise.
He will provide an insight at the Campus.Design Open 2024 at Coburg University of Applied Sciences.
