Creative café 28th May, 2010. Architecture series No 1. Stainable Beauty.

2010.05.10

On 28th May, 2010, we hold a Creative Café on Architecture: series No 1. Stainable Beauty.


Stainable Beauty is the beauty which comes from paint which is peeling off the wall of a back alley and the remains of raindrops. These would normally be completely different from the unstainable beauty of the works which cannot be touched in an art museum. So what exactly is stainable beauty? If we incorporate this kind of beauty into a space, what kind of effect does it have on people? Moreover can we actually create stainable beauty? Starting with internal fittings, what are the materials, strengths, structures and designs of beautiful spaces? I will discuss the idea of a battlefront between science and art.


Speaker:Toshiro Tanaka
Representative of Grid Frame civil engineering and construction group.
After graduating from Kyoto Department of civil engineering, has travelled to over 20 developing countries. After working for Vinecon, studied construction at New York State University, with an emphasis on Grid-Form construction systems. In June 1998, set up the Grid-Form company. While selling furniture and screens made from experimental materials, we are growing into a company which provides internal fittings and layouts to shops based on our original methods. Up until the present, we have over 250 designs implemented.

Facilitator: Hiroshi Tsuda (Chief editor of the Film art company)
