In addition, Yasumichi Okubo, the lead architect at Nikken Sekkei, was invited to a forum titled “Real Estate and Urban Regeneration—A New Driving Force for the Urban Economy” held during an architects’ conference in the region, where he delivered a lecture titled “Urban Regeneration: How Altruistic Public Spaces Can Save High-Density Cities.”
In today’s world, forcibly transforming cities based solely on developers’ logic is no longer sustainable. To improve the quality of life in high-density cities, collaboration with surrounding projects is key.It is important to create more public spaces that resonate with the area’s unique characteristics and historical context, while maintaining a selfless perspective even as we consider our own interests. At the forum, Nikken Sekkei presented numerous urban regeneration projects it has undertaken and shared its experience in realizing urban environments with genuine human appeal through urban regeneration.

During the conference, we were also invited to participate in the “Joint Exhibition of Architects and Design Professionals.”In the exhibition area, Nikken Sekkei showcased numerous representative projects it has undertaken in recent years, along with specialized magazines and books. Through both theory and practical experience, the company conveys its long-standing fundamental philosophy: “Contributing to society through valuable work.”
We are constantly striving to create more comfortable and wonderful social environments in order to meet our clients’ needs and live up to society’s expectations.
