Go BackThe Campus of Eishin- High School: Great Hall interior plasterwork in color – Photographs
01/01/1987Four photos, the first shot in 1984 and the last in 1987, show “wholeness in the making”; the way the interior unpainted space is finished in 1987 with black, highly polished shikkui, with red chevrons on the column shafts and a red emblem on the capital. The floral frieze above the capitals was, at the time of the photograph, a full-scale painting on paper, awaiting the final plaster work. The last photo is by Ruth Landy.
They were exhibited at the 14th International Architecture Biennale Exhibition: “Office US” in 2014.
