To mark the publication of a new edition of the definitive monograph on the work of Shiro Kuramata, the author Deyan Sudjic OBE will be in conversation with Aric Chen, Director of the Zaha Hadid Foundation.

The new edition emerges at a moment when interest in Kuramata’s work continues to grow, yet opportunities to encounter his universe in depth remain rare. Bringing this project to London allows a wider audience to engage with the ideas, memories and critical perspectives of those who have known, studied and carried his work and universe across generations and continents.

Organised by ZHF and Akane Komuro.
