7 - Mio Tsuneyama

Mio Tsuneyama is a Japanese architect who works between Tokyo, Lausanne and also London, where she co-founded the studio mnm with Madeleine Kessler. Having worked for 4 years at HHF in Basel, she decided to return to Tokyo after the major earthquake of 2011. This disaster was a moment of crisis in her practice that changed her way of conceiving architecture. It is with a critical multicultural awareness that she takes a socially and ecologically committed approach, looking at architecture as a network of relationships rather than a single form.
