Go Hasegawa: Japanese Architect Gaining International Recognition

Go Hasegawa, a 39-year-old architect hailing from Saitama, Japan, is receiving global recognition for his innovative takes on traditional Japanese residences. His work, particularly the House in Kyodo, was showcased in "The Japanese House: Architecture and Life from 1945 to Today" at both the Maxxi in Rome and the Barbican Centre in London. Hasegawa leads Go Hasegawa & Associates, known for creating vital living spaces like the Cedar House in Yoshino, which serves as a hybrid vacation home and community hub. He has also completed a marble chapel in Guastalla and is a Visiting Professor at Harvard, focusing on the Bostonian Triple Decker House. Until October 15, he is co-featured in an exhibition at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal and will take part in the Chicago Architecture Biennial in September.
