Biography

Born in Tokyo in 1957, he established his office in his town in 1985 to work with a peculiar material: cardboard. Professor of Yokohama, Keio and of Columbia universities, he improved his knowledge as far as he can project and realize homes, churchs and public places with cardboard structures which can stand the test of water and overweight, places which transmit a strong sensation ofbeing extremely comfortable and on a human scale.
