Kengo Kuma: Onomatopoeia Architecture

 - Valentina Grossmann

The retrospective Kengo Kuma: Onomatopoeia Architecture, which is taking place at the Palazzo Cavallli-Franchetti in Venice, is showing around 22 models of some of the Japanese architect's most significant buildings. The exhibition focuses on the dialogue between people and materials, as well as Kuma's preoccupation with onomatopoeia, or the formation of words by imitating sounds.
