Soapbox: Shohei Shigematsu

2019-08-13T14:08:00-04:00

Soapbox is a series delivering a curated set of lectures, talks, and symposia concerning contemporary themes explored through the archives of lectures past and present.

This week, we focus on the words and ideas of Shohei Shigematsu, a rising partner at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) and director of OMA New York who has had a hand in shaping some of the most iconic, revolutionary, and witty architectural projects of the last decade, including the CCTV tower in Beijing, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Cornell University's Milstein Hall, and the Audrey Irmas Pavilion in Los Angeles, among many others. Through some of the collected lectures by Shigematsu, we are able to peer into the layered and highly responsive design ethos that has fueled Shigematsu's rise.

For the past six years, AIA New York has been hosting an intoxicating series of dialogues that pairs an architect with a critic, journalist, curator or other design professional to discuss design over a custom-crafted cocktail. What began as an informal, casual Friday evening event for architects, has evolved and resulted in a treasured catalogue about how to design.
