- Message
- By facing environmental and social issues from the perspective of landscape design and working on cross-disciplinary design, I believe that the perspectives of architecture, landscape design, and urban planning will each be broadened.
In Kyoto, a city rooted in Japanese culture, I would like to learn together with everyone about future landscape thinking and design methods with a global perspective.
