Independent Study for 2 week break

 The new museum of contemporary art
Kazuyo Sejima and ryue nishizawa have been working collaboratively under the name ‘sanaa’ since 1995. Sejima studied architecture at the japan women's university before collaborating with architect toyo ito. She launched her own practice in 1987 and was named ‘young architect of the year’ in japan in 1992. Nishizawa studied architecture at yokohama national university and, in addition to his work with sejima, has also maintained an independent practice since 1997.

The New Museum has bounced between being audacious and being annoying in its 30 years. From the outside, this silvery column is a symbol of an ambitious desire to reflect and participate in the discourse around contemporary art.
