Architect Hirokazu Suehiro Talks About “Why I Became an Architect”
(Special Dialogue: Hirokazu Suehiro × George Kunihiro)
Thank you very much for your continued support.
This time, as the third architectural seminar hosted by ArchEd+ Academy, we are pleased to welcome architect Hirokazu Suehiro and George Kunihiro, Dean of ArchEd+ Academy, for a special lecture—free of charge.
This event will be limited to the first 50 participants, so we encourage you to register early.
Mr. Suehiro completed his graduate studies at the University of Tokyo and worked at Toyo Ito & Associates before co-founding the architectural unit SUEP. with Yoko Suehiro in 2007. He has since been engaged in creating new forms of organic architecture that harmonize with nature. His representative works include “Dwelling in the Ground” (27th Yoshioka Award) and “Awaji Island House” (2018 Good Design Gold Award), offering a vision of sustainable and fulfilling lifestyles in balance with people and the environment.
In Part 1, Mr. Suehiro will share his journey toward becoming an architect and his passion for pursuing environmentally symbiotic design.
In Part 2, he will engage in a special dialogue with Mr. George Kunihiro.
This will be a valuable opportunity for aspiring architects and those seeking new inspiration to gain insights and encouragement for their next steps.
We sincerely look forward to your participation.
