As partner at OMA, guest editor of Whitewall’s Spring Issue, and host of our May 25 dinner, Shohei Shigematsu has spent his career navigating the spaces between cultures, disciplines, and ideas.

Born in Japan, educated in the United States, and working globally, Shigematsu approaches architecture as an act of observation—one that responds to changing cities, evolving institutions, and new forms of cultural exchange. From landmark museums and civic projects to collaborations with Dior, Prada, and Louis Vuitton, his work continues to challenge conventional boundaries between architecture, fashion, and storytelling.

For The Japan Issue, we explore the perspectives shaping his practice, his reflections on cultural identity, and his vision for the future of architecture.
