KOSHINO HOUSE
GEOMETRY The overall plan of the Koshino House uses two rectangles and one semi circle at the rear. The rigidity of the rectangles are evened out by the curvature, giving it a form of ‘balance’. This too could be identified with ‘taikyoku’, a concept which is very much seen across the runways led by Hiroko Koshino. Her designs involves adding flow and movement to the rigid kimono.
