Hiroshi Nakamura's Art Style

Hiroshi Nakamura's philosophy emphasizes creating an organic relationship between architecture, nature, and the human body through "microscopic design" that draws on natural phenomena, human behavior, and emotions. He aims to create "architecture that can only be found there" by harmonizing with the region's history, culture, industry, materials, and other unique characteristics. In recent years, Nakamura has found the essence of his design philosophy in traditional Japanese architecture and garden culture and is actively engaged in their reconstruction.
