In 2011, the devastation of the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami forced Japanese architects to rethink their understanding of architecture at a fundamental level to consider closely societys systems and the affect buildings had on not only the life of, but also the psyche of the people.
What role should architects play from now on? From what perspective should they envision the future? These were questions that inevitably brought into scope more focus on energy and environment.
Architecture since 3.11 at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, explores Japanese architectural trends that evolved after March 2011, introducing the endeavors of 25 architectural offices who continue to challenge and review the architects role. It includes an easy-to-assemble set of refugee-shelter partition curtains by Shigeru Ban; an emergency evacuation map designed by citizens in collaboration with volunteers from architectural design company Nikken Sekkei; and images of the Realtokyoestate, an estate agents that bridges the gap between architectural practice and property. Architectural historian Taro Igarashi and community designer Ryo Yamazaki, the exhibitions two curators, explain the background to this unconventional architectural show.
Since March 2011, what do you think has been the most significant change in the general approach of architects?
Taro Igarashi: I would say that the focus of the architects shifted from designing forms to connecting to society.
In the past, after earthquakes struck, the architectural community addressed issues such as strengthening construction, enhanced fireproofing and increasing earthquake-resistance standards. But this time, it has started to pay a great deal of attention to social connections.
After the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake (1995), architects discovered that one of the problematic consequences was the number of people who died solitary deaths in temporary housing. They learned that we should pay attention to community. At an early stage after 3/11, many architects from outside Tohoku Prefecture went the affected areas to become involved with community problems. Those architects recognized the need to seriously consider a software approach that involved links between people, or connections between people and cities, rather than simply spending more money on making stronger hardware (rebuilding structures and reinforcing them).
Not only this, but the role of the architect is changing from designing forms to designing relationships. Architecture since 3.11 is focused on such new activities.
Ryo Yamazaki: I am based in Kansai, and after Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, few architects in Kansai were asked to design or plan the reconstruction projects. I suspect that architects were regarded as the people to approach for special flamboyant buildings, not for emergency structures needed after a disaster.
This (preconception) urged young architects in Kansai to play a more crucial role in society by tackling community problems; (there was a desire) to wipe out an image of architects that dates back to the bubble economy.

A consortium of Dublin-based Newenham Mulligan Architects and London-based Grimshaw Architects has won the international design competition for the multimillion-euro redevelopment of the RDS Arena.
The RDS, with their partners Leinster Rugby, will work to complete the design of a world class RDS Arena that will host professional rugby matches, equestrian sports, music concerts and other appropriate sporting opportunities as they arise.
Managed by the Royal Institute of Architects in Ireland (RIAI), the competition saw five designs anonymously shortlisted, with the winner chosen by a five person expert jury.
Speaking about the winning design, Michael Duffy, Chief Executive of the RDS said "The jury was unanimous in their selection of the Newenham Mulligan / Grimshaw entry. Their winning concept represents an exciting design response to a complex brief. Entries had to accommodate professional rugby, world class equestrianism and music concerts, in an already very busy events venue. These three elements were exceptionally well incorporated by the winning consortium who stood out for their understanding of the multi-faceted nature of the development and their vision for the RDS Arena."
Leinster Rugby will continue to play their home games as normal during the redevelopment of the RDS Arena which is expected to begin in 2016. Welcoming the announcement, Mick Dawson, Chief Executive, Leinster Rugby said: "This is a very exciting time for Leinster Rugby. We continue to make strides on the pitch with a home Champions Cup Quarter-Final against Bath to prepare for and we are naturally delighted to be making strides off the pitch and moving to the next stage of this project. Leinster Rugby has a loyal supporter base and the redeveloped capacity of 25,000 in a purpose built venue will provide greater opportunities for our supporters and commercial operations. Gate revenue is a significant feature of our current business model, and we are sure that this redevelopment will help with this, as well as allowing us to explore additional commercial revenue streams."
"A newly developed RDS Arena certainly has the potential to significantly add to the world cup bid, and we hope to speak to the IRFU in due course," he added.

The design for a controversial glass tower on Vancouvers waterfront that has been called everything from origami to the blob to the icepick didnt get approval in its first pass at the citys urban design panel.
The panel, a group of architects and engineers who provide advice to the city planning department, said the 26-storey tower crowded too close to the citys heritage Waterfront Station, a former train station that is now a central transit hub.
The current design, by internationally renowned Chicago architects Gordon Gill and Adrian Smith, shows a glass building rising from a narrow base close to the east side of the station and curving over its roof, with windows angled like the facets of a diamond.
I admire your work and Im very happy to see you working on a project in the city, Vancouver architect Matthew Soules told the two. But, he said, the proximity and overhang of the tower to the station is ultimately a disservice to the dignity of the station. By positioning the tower so close, it appears that (a future connecting road on the other side) is more important than one of the citys civic structures.
Mr. Soules, like others on the panel, said the 1914 station is one of this young citys few historic buildings and needs to be respected.
As well, the building, on a site that is currently a private parking lot between the station and the Steamworks restaurant and pub, doesnt do enough to make the public feel welcome, the panel said.
They noted that, whether owner Cadillac Fairview likes it or not, the public has come to see that parking lot along with the view of the mountains and water from it as their space. Cadillac Fairview also owns Waterfront Station.
Architect Jennifer Marshall suggested creating a winter garden that would extend through the lobby of the building, turning the whole ground floor, as well as the plaza outside, into a public space.
In spite of the criticisms, almost all the panel members agreed that the building fits with the citys future waterfront plan to have an office tower of that height and density there.
They also didnt have a problem with the very modern design next to the station, saying that many cities have shown that the blend of old and new can be attractive.
