Going deep
When designing an Architecture and Design Tour in a country, our work begins with an understanding of the evolution of both the historical and cultural context. In Japan, for example, we can take visitors to view interior as well as exterior architecture. The survey can span time and space or can focus on a specific style or period: timeless Shinto shrines; thatched-roof farmhouses; Shinden and Sukiya aristocratic villas; samurai castles; tea houses; iconic buildings of the 20th and 21st century.
