Special Lecture by Architect Tetsuo Kobori
"Why I Became an Architect"
We are honored to welcome Tetsuo Kobori, an architect who has won numerous domestic and international design awards and continues to attract global attention, for this special lecture.
In this lecture, Mr. Kobori will delve into the origins of his journey: how he chose the path of architecture and how he has walked it since.
What inspired him to enter the world of architecture? What ideas were cultivated along the way? And what is he striving to question or create through architecture today? He will share these insights with us.
The heartfelt story told through the words of a globally active architect will not only reveal the depth and potential of architecture but also offer a valuable opportunity to reflect on our own future choices and paths to self-realization.
We hope this lecture will serve as a compass for students aspiring to become architects and for young generations seeking to shape their careers and lives.
Don't miss this rare opportunity. We sincerely look forward to your participation.
