In this talk filmed by Dezeen at V&A Dundee for The Dalmore, Japanese architect Kengo Kuma explains how creating a whisky with the Scottish distillery led him to find an affinity between architecture and whisky.

During the talk, which was moderated by Yoko Choy, China editor for Wallpaper*, Kuma described the similarities between the two professions.

"Whisky is very much related with nature itself," said the architect. "I believe architecture is the same. And through this collaboration, I learned many things about whisky. It's a very exciting process."

Kuma appeared on the panel alongside architect Maurizio Mucciola, with whom he designed V&A Dundee, and renowned whisky makers Richard Paterson and Gregg Glass.

The event marked the launch of a partnership between V&A Dundee and The Dalmore called The Luminary Series, which pairs notable architects with whisky makers to produce limited editions housed in specially designed bottles. Kuma and Mucciola are the first participants in the series.
