Jo Nagasaka is a Japanese architect.[1] He is the founder of Schemata Architects, a Tokyo-based design studio working in architecture, interior design, and industrial design.[2][3]
Education
Nagasaka graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts in 1998.[1]
Career
Right after graduating from college, Nagasaka founded Schemata Architects. There, he practices "Half-Architecture," an approach which views architecture not as an isolated, insular entity but rather a "heteronomous" one, "adapting to its environment and activities."[1]
In 2007, Nagasaka founded HAPPA, a creative studio.[1]
In 2016, Nagasaka released his own monograph of work, Jo Nagasaka: On My Mind, which shows many of Schemata Architects' buildings.[4]
In 2021, Nagasaka participated in designing the Japan Pavilion for the 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale, where he helped recycle the materials of an old Japanese house for its construction.[5]
