Las familias de SANAA. O cómo Kazuyo Sejima y Ryue Nishizawa responden a sus intereses arquitectónicos mediante secuencias de proyectos

Abstract

After the analysis of the architectonic production of Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa some recurrent themes can be detected, and an evidence of that can be found in sequences of projects that share some characteristics that are defined as “family relationships”. On the basis of a series of categories: non-hierarchical forms of grouping and compartimentalisation, neutralization of the structure, geometric transformations-topological equivalences and parks , this paper shows the existing relations in between a selection of projects by these Japanese architects. Some graphic visualization techniques are employed concluding in a taxonomic tree. This graphic representation method shows 43 of their analyzed projects, the existing relations in between them and the different recurrent themes discussed.
