INTERNATIONAL HOUSING EXHIBITION Kazunari Sakamoto, Tokyo Institute of Technology House: Poetics in the Ordinary RMIT Design Research Institute Exhibition Melbourne Curator: Nigel Bertram, RMIT Architecture Senior Lecturer; Co-Director: DRI Urban Liveability with Sue Anne Ware; Director: RMIT Urban Architecture Laboratory; Practice Director: NMBW Exhibition Dates: 08.04.09–02.05.09 Public Lecture: Wednesday 29.04.09 at 6 pm (see below) Exhibition Closing Party: Wednesday 29.04.09 at 7:30pm Venue: The Atrium, Federation Square, Corner Swanston & Flinders St, Melbourne Prof. Sakamoto, of the Tokyo Institute of Technology is an internationally renowned Japanese architect. He was a student of Kazuo Shinohara and the teacher of Kaijima and of Tsukamoto of Atelier Bow-Wow, also of TITech. This exhibition presents Sakamoto's major works in residences and collective housing from the past 30 years. Kazunari Sakamoto’s architectural works emerge at the boundaries of everyday life. These consciously inconspicuous forms, both in a haphazard suburban setting or in the density of Tokyo, provide an entirely new spatial sensation. This exhibition continues the Design Research Institute’s interest in the discussion that expands the conventional focus on “housing” as a general economic or social condition to include examination of the individual dwelling and its spatial contexts. Moving beyond the large scale and the spectacular, this exhibition will demonstrate the importance contemporary Japanese culture attaches to the activities and environments of everyday life.  PUBLIC LECTURE Kazunari Sakamoto "House: Poetics in the Ordinary" RMIT Design Research Institute Public Lecture Introduced By Prof Geoffrey London, Victorian Government Architect Date: Wednesday 29.04.09 Lecture Time: 6:00pm Exhibition Closing Party: from 7.30 pm onwards Venue: ACMI Cinema 1, Federation Square, Corner Swanston & Flinders St , Melbourne VIC 3000 The RMIT Design Research Institute invites you to a public lecture by visiting Professor Kazunari Sakamoto of the Tokyo Institute of Technology. It is an opportunity to hear Professor Sakamoto discuss his architectural composition and how it finds greater significance in everyday life than in aesthetic expression. It is this ‘absolute commonness of the everyday’ that presents to him a space of freedom that enables a communication between the body and the world. This lecture is followed by an exhibition closing party and drinks.  YALE WORKSHOP Mel Dodd, RMIT Architecture Program Director, Practice: Muf Liza Fior, Louis I.
