Astrid Klein & Mark Dytham Digital Documentary: Now Live

In this episode of SCCI Cinéphile Hub 2020, SCCI Tokyo Correspondent, journalist and author, Kate Klippensteen, interviews architects and co-founders of Klein Dytham Architecture, Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham.

Direct from the T-Store in Daikanyama, Tokyo, the architects speak to their visionary approach to creating spaces characterised by joy, novelty, communality and fresh cosmopolitan perspectives:

“Today's mega cities – especially in Asia – have turned their back on the people who visit, live and work in them. People are either working, shopping, eating or in transit between spaces. There is nowhere to pause, take a breath, sit or simply get back in control of your senses." – Klein & Dytham.

Together, Klippensteen, Klein and Dytham discuss the architectural pedigrees of Japan, design's role in addressing disaster and the importance of cross-disciplinary conversations.
