Architect Nikola Maniero, Partner at the Renowned Japanese Architectural Firm Kengo Kuma and Associates (KKAA), Held a Lecture and Presentation at the Faculty of Architecture, Union Nikola Tesla University At the end of November, architect Nikola Maniero, a partner at the prestigious Japanese architectural firm Kengo Kuma and Associates (KKAA), delivered a lecture and presentation at the Faculty of Architecture, Union Nikola Tesla University. The event aimed to support the initiative led by the faculty and Associate Professor Bojan Končarević to establish a continuous exchange of academic and professional experience with Japanese universities and firms. Maniero’s unique and insightful lecture was part of the educational module within the first- and third-year courses, Basics of Architectural Composition and Principles of Universal Design, respectively. Supporting the general interests of architecture students and particularly those enrolled in these two courses, Maniero's presentation emphasized the importance of the conceptual phase in design and project development. With the insistence of faculty lecturer Associate Professor Bojan Končarević on these two key subjects and the full support of architect Nikola Maniero, the lecture was aptly titled "How We Do It" (The Approach to Conceptual, Formal, and Project Tasks at KKAA). Above all, the primary goal was to engage in an open “round table” discussion after the presentation of selected projects, allowing for communication and numerous questions from students about the material presented. The students were introduced to three projects from the Tokyo-based architectural firm, each demonstrating a consistent approach to shaping the informal/conceptual design phase. In all three cases, this approach led to completely different processes of design and execution of the architectural projects.
