Co-director: Prof. Tatsu Matsuda, Shizuoka University of Art and Culture, Hamamatsu, Japan.
Associate Professor, Department of Design (Architecture and Landscape)
"I specialize in architectural and urban theory, architectural design and the history of urban planning, while at the same time practicing a
variety of spatial design. Designing at the intersection of theory and practice, also integrating the domain of architecture and urbanism are key
themes of my work, and as an extension of this, I am interested in creating new territories by connecting traditionally conflicting or fragmented
disciplines. Originally from Kanazawa, having lived in Tokyo for a long time and having spent several years in Paris,
I would like to use my experience of staying in several cities for to develop design activities to revitalize the local community here in Hamamatsu,
while connecting global and local situations."
Research Keywords: Architectural Design, Computational Design, Origin of Scientific Urbanism, Le Corbusier.
