Japan Studio
The Japan Studio was established to promote architectural and cultural exchange between Japan and Switzerland in a contemporary context, and to explore new architectural solutions to globally shared challenges. From 2023 to 2025, a series of architectural design studios were held, each conducted in collaboration with invited teaching teams from Japan. The team consisted of professionals from diverse fields, including architects, theorists, landscape designers, structural engineers, and traditional craftsmen. Together, we aimed to reinterpret Japanese architectural thought within the context of contemporary Switzerland and to cultivate emerging architectural philosophies and techniques for the future.
