Frank Lloyd Wright and Japan Revisited

April 26, 2:00pm - 3:00pm
Mānoa Campus, HawaiÊ»i Imin International Conference Center at Jefferson Hall

Join us for a book talk by University of Hawai'i at ²ÑÄå²Ô´Ç²¹ professor of architecture, Kevin Nute. Free with registration; space is limited. Seating is first come, first served. Frank Lloyd Wright and Japan Revisited: Traditional Japanese Culture as a Means to Modern American Architecture (London: World Scientific, 2025) expands on more than three decades of research by reexamining Wright’s interpretations of traditional Japanese forms in the context of otherness, appropriation, translation and myth. The book has just been shortlisted for a 2025 Architectural Book Award. Its predecessor, Frank Lloyd Wright and Japan (London: Chapman and Hall, 1993) won an International Architectural Monograph Award from the American Institute of Architects. An internationally recognized authority on Wright’s relationship with Japan, Kevin Nute spent his early career in Japan and joined the University of HawaiÊ»i in 2019. In addition to the East-West Center talk, he will be giving a series of invited lectures on the work this spring, at the Honolulu AIA, the Fallingwater Institute, the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust, and later this year, at the AIA in Japan, the French School of the Far East, the university of Kyoto and the University of Tokyo.
