Emmanuelle Moureaux Architect

French architect, Emmanuelle Moureaux, has been living in Japan since 1966.  Inspired by traditional Japanese sliding screens, Emmanuelle has created the concept of ‘Shikiri,’ which literally means ‘dividing (creating) space with colors’ in English.  I find her work to be light and minimal with a dash of whimsy…always inspiring and memorable….
