'Make Do With Now'
DIRECTORS: Anne Gross, Sebastian Gross
The earthquake in eastern Japan in 2011, followed by the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, created significant social and economic turmoil in Japan. Interest in 'starchitecture' disappeared among young architects, who immediately intensified the pursuit of more critical, ecological, and socially just approaches. Make Do With Now offers an enthusiastic look at the new trends in Japanese architecture and an optimistic narrative of architectural renewal in a world of ecological and economic constraints.
