Directors & Officers Profile

As a child, I loved building plastic models and sketching tanks and battleships. I was enthralled the first time I saw a draftsman, and from that moment on I became interested in the field of drafting. Like many, I aspired to study architecture with a desire to design my own home. In university, I sensed the beauty of Aida Takefumi's “architecture of fluctuation” and changed schools to join Aida's lab.

I joined DAIKEN SEKKEI in 1994 and was assigned to the production building design office in the Tokyo Office. I started off assisting in design for cleaning plants and have mainly designed public housing, power centers, and various factories. I am interested in the foundational areas and details of architecture and have cultivated a sense of the balance necessary for design by generally enhancing the structure, equipment, estimation, supervision, construction, project schedule, etc.

Therefore, although I mainly designed production buildings, I was given the opportunity to be involved in the design of special buildings with high difficulty, such as wood frame halls, wood frame semi-clean-room factories, and clean-room factories for radioactive material production. In this respect, feel like my design experience has been a bit out of the ordinary.
