Projects such as the Umbrella House (1959–61) and the House in White (1964–66) combined rigorous geometry with traditional Japanese forms to create purist structures of modest scale but vast ambition. Now this mathematician turned architect is receiving his first european institutional survey exhibition.

Organized by GTA Exhibitions, ETH Zurich and the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis, the exhibition features original drawings, sketches, period photographs and other archival material, much of which has never been publicly displayed before. Drawn largely from the Shinohara Kazuo Archive at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, “On the Thresholds of Space-Making” is curated by Seng Kuan, assistant professor of architectural history in Washington University in St. Louis.
