AboutAbout the lab
Aiming for architecture of a new era.
Nishizawa Studio is a studio at the Yokohama Graduate School of Architecture (Y-GSA) at Yokohama National University that works on architectural design proposals under the theme "Toward Architecture for a New Era."
At Y-GSA, students belong not to a professor's lab but to a studio, which is the place where they learn.
In their assignments, students consider architecture that expresses the values of a new era, places and living environments suited to human beings, and connections to the history of the region.
The studio is led by Professor Ryue Nishizawa, an architect.

Nishizawa Studio is a studio where students create architectural proposals under the theme "Toward Architecture for a New Era." As a rule, the content, scale, and site of a proposal are left open. Students research the culture and history of a town, think through the functions suited to it as a program, design the building, and prepare for the final presentation.
*Illustrative imageArchitecture for a New Era
The studio asks what architecture suited to our time, and architecture that expresses the values of a new era, would look like. It also considers whether architecture can emerge from the feelings and values of the people of its time.
*Illustrative imagePlaces and Living Environments Suited to Human Beings
The studio considers what places and environments suit human beings. As a rule, proposals for a single building alone are avoided. Students envision a world in which architecture and environment are in harmony, including gardens, roads, plazas, neighborhoods, and landscape.
*Illustrative imageConnections to the History of the Region
Students think carefully about regional culture, the lives of the people who live there, and the history of the region, and propose projects that are continuous with them historically and over time.
