     Kazuyo Sejima, who was born in the Japanese prefecture of Ibaraki in 1956, studied architecture at Japan Women's University. After initially working for Toyo Ito & Associates, she opened the architectural office Kazuyo Sejima & Associates in 1987 and subsequently founded SANAA together with Ryue Nishizawa in 1995. She has served as a lecturer at Keio University since 2001.

     Ryue Nishizawa was born in 1966 in the prefecture of Kanagawa, Japan. He completed an architectural degree at Yokohama National University before joining the office of Kazuyo Sejima & Associates, which led to the founding of SANAA together with Kazuyo Sejima in 1995. Since 1997 he has also run his own firm, the Office of Ryue Nishizawa, and has taught at Yokohama National University since 2001.

    SANAA was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2010.

      在成立 SANAA 之前，妹岛和世于1981年毕业于日本女子大学，并取得建筑学硕士学位。在1987年建立妹岛和世事务所之前，她一直在伊东丰雄工作室工作。1992年，妹岛和世被日本建筑师协会评为本年度青年建筑师。1990年，西泽立卫于日本横滨国立大学毕业后被聘请去妹岛和世事务所工作。1995年两人一起建立了SANAA事务所。两年后，西泽立卫成立了西泽立卫工作室，所以SANAA汇集了三家公司，并常聚在一起进行讨论，用批判性的方式探寻很多新的想法。

       SANAA呈现出一种新的建筑风格。除了对结构和设计的关注，他们开始把目光周围生活群落，环境和客户的个人需要：细致的研究，直觉的感受构成SANAA的建筑设计，例如，他们设计的私人住宅就摆脱了传统的惯有模式。更准确地说，他们打开了建筑的设计程序，为各种不同情况的需求提供了实际的，灵活多变的设计。非坚实的物质――比如玻璃，就是他们经常采用的材料。他们运用透明的物质构成交错的空间，把人们从对建筑空间的惯有体验和透视观感中解放出来。这些SANAA的基本理念对年轻一代建筑师产生了巨大影响。

Vitra Factory Building

SANAA, 2012

     his production facility was designed by the Japanese architects SANAA. It has been a part of the Vitra Campus since 2010, except for the facade, which was completed in 2012. The building is rounded in shape, but not quite circular, and is composed of two half-round concrete shells that are connected to one another. The oval form optimises logistical processes by allowing trucks sufficient room for circulating in.
