Keynote Speaker at the Faculty of the Built Environment UNSW Sydney for the Seminar and Book Launch, Urban Density, Placemaking & Health.
Integrating urban design into mental health.
"Cities, agencies and private companies have endless data on elements such as the weather, transport flows or parking, yet data on the mental health related to the urban environment is still lacking. However, maintaining mental health is essential not just for our personal wellbeing, but also to achieve resilient, sustainable cities. One factor is sure, the fact that the increase of mental health disorders including severe psychosis are largely urban phenomena raises the question on the correlation of urban design and mental health. The lecture identifies a paradigmatic case study in Tokyo, one of the largest metropolises in the world, through which urban design becomes the conjunctive component between body and city; individuality and commonality; and, intimacy and density. In this context, whether or not urban design can preserve and promote mental wellness within Tokyo’s metropolitan density is examined."

Enjoy a small bite of Sanaa latest project in Domus March issue.
Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa – SANAA, Tsuruoka Cultural Center
(…) The project is the Shogin TACT Tsuruoka, the Cultural Hall for the city of Tsuruoka in northern Japan, on the less man-made stretch of coast bordering the Sea of Japan. It develops as a multifunctional space on the same site as the old cultural centre, with the pur- pose of stimulating the whole of Yamagata Prefecture via its future artistic activities.
(…) In 2012 SANAA won the competition and designed an extension for the community’s new civic activities beside a garden and a Han school. Their project incorporated the pre-existing structures of the student and artist collectives which were active at the time of the previous cultural centre.
