As a live contribution to [Home at Arsenale] Yui and Takaharu Tezuka will walk us through their practice in the definition of home.
A 1:1 talk for understanding how peculiar daily life deeply influences the creation of functional and sensible homes. By highlighting several significant design processes Yui and Takaharu Tezuka will illustrate their responsive approach towards individual human activities and specific landscapes.

Takaharu and Yui Tezuka established Tezuka Architects in Tokyo in 1994. Both partners gained undergraduate degrees at Musashi Institute of Technology. Takaharu (b. 1964) earned his graduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania; he worked for Richard Rogers Partnership in London while Yui (b. 1969) studied at the Bartlett School of Architecture. The Tezukas have realized houses, schools, office buildings, and healthcare facilities that prioritize human activity and a sense of connection to the larger world. Significant projects include Roof House (2001), with a single sloping roof terrace for outdoor living; the Echigo-Matsunoyama Museum of Natural Science (2006), a steel-clad structure designed to withstand heavy snow; Fuji Kindergarten (2007) and the adjacent pavilion, Ring Around a Tree (2011), which encourage interactivity and communal learning; Asahi Kindergarten in tsunami-affected regions of Japan (2012); and Sora no Mori Clinic for infertility treatment (2014).
