Winner Designer
Shigetaka Mochizuki
In Japan, traditional techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation are on the decline, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the skills of traditional craftsmen. As a temple carpenter and designer, he has participated in numerous architectural awards to convey the new possibilities of traditional techniques to young designers and builders by creating "attractive structural beauty" and "beauty of use" architecture based on the evolution of traditional techniques from the inheritance of traditional techniques.
