Kazuyo Sejima is a Japanese architect whose practice is grounded in spatial minimalism and the relationship between interior and exterior conditions. Her buildings and installations employ refined geometric forms, often in concrete and glass, to create environments of deliberate transparency and permeability. Working from Tokyo, she has developed a distinctly Japanese approach to postwar modernism that emphasizes emptiness and light as active design elements rather than absence. Her work prioritizes spatial flow and sensory experience over ornamentation.
