Shin Egashira

While serving for many years as a Diploma Unit Master at the Architectural Association (AA) School in London, he also earned a PhD from the European Research Practice at RMIT University. His work has developed across architectural education and the practices of architecture, urbanism, and art. He understands architecture not as a completed form, but as a process that continues to engage with place and human activity over time. His focus is on the transformation of cities and landscapes, particularly on the ambiguous states that emerge through processes of erosion, lapse, and transition.

From post-industrial and post-agricultural perspectives, he observes and records landscapes after they have outlived their original roles, expressing them through architecture, objects, text, and installation. Through workshops and field research in different regions, he reads cities and terminal landscapes as phenomena in states of attenuation and waning, attended to with architectural care, and continues to explore ways of re-articulating their latent contexts.
