Architecture as residue

Tadashi Kawamata is a Japanese artist known for large-scale installations made from reclaimed wood, chairs, and construction materials. His works often attach to buildings, spill through urban spaces, or form suspended nests and walkways. Kawamata foregrounds process, collaboration, and community involvement, creating environments that feel provisional yet sculpturally precise.

His practice reveals architecture as participatory, evolving, and embedded in social context.
