Join Anglo-Japanese architect Takeshi Hayatsu as he presents a richly-illustrated talk about his work combining European and Japanese architecture.
Takeshi will talk through his many craft influences with particular reference to the politics of the Arts and Crafts movement in both the UK and Japan and the contemporary relevance of many of the movement’s ideas today. The talk will reference his many collaborative projects with Tenerobu Fujimori, Assemble, 6H and Grizedale Arts and work on the Grizedale Arts Architecture School Course teaching traditional Japanese construction techniques to build a new off-grid cold store for The Farmer’s Arms kitchen.
Takeshi joins us as part of our Wednesday night ‘Soup Talks’ series during which we host locals or people passing through the area to share their stories and expertise with a captive audience over a bowl of homemade soup! Often illustrated, each talk lasts approximately 40 minutes with time for questions and informal chat. The Stable Bar is open for drinks before and after the talk and those with tickets, get 10% off on the night.
