DESCRIPTION:Good design can have a profound impact on local art and communi
 ties\, as exemplified by the Setouchi region of Japan. In the post-World W
 ar II period\, there was significant patronage of modern art and architect
 ure in this region. In 1958\, Kenzo Tange\, whose work combines modern arc
 hitecture with traditional Japanese techniques and symbolism\, designed Ka
 gawa Prefecture's governmental office building. This sparked an artistic r
 enaissance\, and the area has become an internationally acclaimed creative
  hub centered around the Setouchi Art Triennale. At this talk\,&nbsp\;<str
 ong>Prof. Toshiko Mori</strong>\, founder of Toshiko Mori Architect PLLC a
 nd Professor of Architecture at Harvard University\, examines this unique 
 artistic and architectural phenomenon. She will also touch on her two proj
 ects in villages in Senegal that share a similar ambition to create peace 
 and stability by integrating contemporary architecture with vernacular bui
 ldings and local culture.&nbsp\;\n<em>Followed by a reception.</em>&nbsp\;
