Tomoaki Uno Architect, based in Nagoya Japan, is an architectural firm established by architect Tomoaki Uno in 1990. Their projects are about architecture, space and product design. They cooperate closely with excellent local craftsmen and focus on the organic construction leading by handmade craft.
In this open class, the founder Tomoaki Uno shares his design experience under the theme of Design Virtue. He begins this class by introducing his professional background and why he chooses this field. As an architect grown up in an environment of Craftsmen, he feels upset about the design that is mere paper work and must show the company’s ideas. So he established a studio 30 years ago and create his own works. He thinks that trust and team work are really important in design. And good design is the result of accidents and unexpected factors. In the end, he mentions that practice in real life and long-term hard work are necessary for the growth of architects.
