Born in 1954, Kengo Kuma is one of Japan’s most influential contemporary architects and the founder of Kengo Kuma & Associates.

His architecture is defined by lightness, natural materials, and a subtle dialogue between tradition and innovation. Through refined wooden structures and organic forms, he creates spaces that dissolve the boundaries between nature and the built environment.

With projects across more than 50 countries and numerous international distinctions, Kuma’s work continues to shape the global architectural landscape.
