Japanese architects are now inspiring a wide range of cultures, including design, art, and literature, extending beyond the genre of architecture itself. Among them, young architects in their thirties are currently making remarkable strides.
The architecture they create not only fulfills the function of 'living' but also stimulates the daily senses of its inhabitants and awakens their artistic sensibilities. For six installments, OPENERS will feature these young Japanese architects. We introduce them with the utmost respect.
