Through case studies of cities and architecture that can find contemporary value, and through design practice, we hope to discover a new role for architectural design for a new society.Case studies cover a variety of subjects, but we examine the new creative significance of design by analyzing the background in which a project was conceived, its form/spatial configuration, and how it is actually used.The scope of investigation is not limited to new cases, but also includes old cases.Particularly recently, we have been conducting research on the utilization of historical buildings and on rebuilding methods for aging condominiums whose scale is unsuitable for existing ones.In my design practice, I work on interior and architectural projects.
