Umbrella House – Book Launch and Talk | SPECIAL (EN) 

Kazuo Shinohara (1925–2006) has influenced some of today’s greatest architects. His Umbrella House inspired and stimulated the architectural discourse in 1960s Japan. In order to safeguard it for posterity, the house, first built in Tokyo in 1961, has now been reconstructed on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein. Its opening will be accompanied by a book launch, presenting a new publication about the Umbrella House created in collaboration by Rolf Fehlbaum, the Vitra Design Museum, and Zurich-based architects DEHLI GROLIMUND. This will be followed by a talk with Christian Kerez, architect and professor at ETH Zurich, and architecture critic Hubertus Adam. After the talk there will be a reception and guests will be able to visit the Umbrella House in small groups.
