The renowned architect will revisit domestic projects that have sought to negotiate a relationship between the individual and Japan's advanced information society. She will explore the principles behind key houses such as House in Plum Grove (2003) which features in the exhibition, The Japanese House: Architecture and Life After 1945 at the Barbican Arts Centre.
