The architectural firms S U G I B E R R Y and Schenk Hattori work from Flanders and Japan. In the exhibition MEANING/TRANSLATIONS they highlight the unspoken in the cross-over between both cultures. On Thursday 10 June you can hear the architects talk about this unique relationship during the lecture UNSPOKEN: Schenk Hattori & S U G I B E R R Y in conversation with Go Hasegawa, Jun Igarashi & Junya Ishigami. The lecture will be held at the Saint-Peter's Abbey in Ghent.
UNSPOKEN
Schenk Hattori and S U G I B E R Y will go in conversation with Go Hasegawa, Jun Igarashi & Junya Ishigami. They discuss their work and their approach to architecture and zoom in on the pavilion they built in De Singel's garden especially for the exhibition. It is the starting point for a broader discussion on the two young firms' fascination with the work of prominent Japanese architects in relation to the theme of 'Unspoken'. Together with film recordings of the pavilion by Michiel De Cleene, this will create enough material for an interactive lecture with reflections on references and use of materials.
MEANING / TRANSLATIONS
The Flanders Architecture Institute exhibits the work of two young architectural firms with offices in both Belgium and Japan as part of the Back from Japan theme. SUGIBERRY, founded by Mayu Takasugi and Johannes Berry (2016), works out of both Brussels and Tokyo. Schenk Hattori works out of both Antwerp and Kyoto. The firm was founded by Steven Schenk and Daisuke Hattori shortly after graduating from the Accademia di Architettura in Mendrisio, Switzerland. As part of the exhibition, S U G I B E R R Y and Schenk Hattori have build a pavilion in the garden of De Singel. With this installation the architects created a world where their ideas meet the physical.

Back From Japan
This autumn we are focusing on the architectural exchange between Flanders and Japan. Two architectural cultures that are ostensibly far apart are today showing a renewed interest in one another. In a series of exhibitions, lectures and (online) reflections, we seek out surprising similarities and deep-rooted differences that lead to new dynamics.
