About
I am currently an architecture student studying at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL in London. I also hold a degree in Environmental Information from Keio University in Tokyo, which included a year of study at EDHEC Business School in Nice, in the south of France. As illustrated in my academic project “Double Vision”, I am interested not only in designing spaces within the architectural canon, but also in redefining how AI and other emerging technologies influence the design process, spatial qualities, human behaviour, and our everyday customs.In addition to my academic background, I have professional experience as a design assistant at Alison Brooks Architects (ABA) and at the engineering firm AKT II in London. I have also occasionally worked as an art curator in collaboration with the Tomio Koyama Gallery, a Japanese gallery, in Paris and other European cities.
This project is a photography museum that explores the differences and inherent ambiguities between the AI object recognition systems and human perception. Located on the former site of the Berlin Wall—a place once defined by the artificial and forceful division of opposing ideologies—the museum introduces a new kind of boundary: one between human and machine perception. Through its architecture, the project invites a renewed confrontation, allowing both perspectives to coexist in a kind of "double vision," offering critical reflection on the past, present, and future. The building's distinctive forms are grounded in a self-developed methodology based on visual dialogue with AI systems. As both an outcome and a visual record of this process, the museum proposes a new model for engaging with AI—not as a means of simply handing over creative authority, but as a way to co-share design agency between human and artificial intelligence through visual negotiation.
