A few weeks ago we started conducting a series of video interviews with some of the most promising young architects. 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 OMA*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.

Well done David´s!

Spend $10 on a propper microphone. I know you can afford it, if not please call me and I’ll pay for it.

why do I see this guy too often?!
Because he is an OMA partner. Saw him lecture in NYC last year. Sharp guy.

Gosh, the interview sounds so noisy!!! I can barely hear him. Don’t they have the interview on text???
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.
Sad there is a bad sound and Interviewer: Please practice your english!
Put subtitles for foreign ppl understand better.
Put subtitles for english ppl. The Audio is terrible.
I think this interview needs to be redone!
