Back from Japan - Sugiberry. Meaning - Exhibition


Johannes Berry (Sujiberry architects) participates to the exhibition "Back from Japan" at De Singel in Antwerp. As part of the theme ‘Back from Japan’, the VAi is showcasing the work of two young architectural firms who work out of Belgium and Japan. In the exhibition ‘Meaning’, SUGIBERRY searches for the architectural relationship between Japan and Flanders, by placing its own work alongside that of others. The bureau shows how an idea that adapts to a changing context – here the cultural exchange between Flanders and Japan – leads to new connections and layers of meaning. In SUGIBERRY’s design practice, everything is related to the human and the dialogue with the built environment. When a tree in a forest falls down and there is no one to hear it, does it then make a sound? According to SUGIBERRY, it does not.
