About this episode

Shohei Shigematsu discusses the significance of 'memorable space' in architecture and his unique journey at OMA.

On Ep. 148 of our Time Sensitive podcast, the New York–based architect and OMA partner Shohei Shigematsu talks about his new extension of the New Museum in New York and the importance of what he calls “memorable space,” how he has carved his own distinctive path at the firm over nearly three decades, and the ways in which his Japaneseness has come alive through several of his recent building designs.
