AD Interviews: Shohei Shigematsu, OMA*AMO NY

By — Filed under: ArchDaily Interviews ,Architects ,Featured ,Videos , ,
 

A few weeks ago we started conducting a series of video interviews with some of the most promising . In times when “[...] architect may no longer mean architect“, they were asked to talk about key aspects of their role as an architect in modern society, among other topics to discuss about the direction of architecture.

Our first guest is Shohei Shigematsu (1973). He graduated from the Department of Architecture at Kyushu University in 1996, and then went to the Berlage Institute in Amsterdam. He started working at OMA in 1998, becoming an associate in 2004. He´s now the director of *AMO NY, working on projects such as the CCTV Headquartes in Beijing, the design of the Whitney Museum extension in NY, the Millestain Hall at Cornell, the Stock Exchange at Shenzhen, the Torre Bicentenario in Mexico and a mixed use building in Jersey City.

The sound!!! it’s horrible! :<
I love the interview. But it's so hard to understand what he's saying, with so much noise overpowering what he had to say.
