Architect Takero Shimazaki Reflects On His Sensitive Approach To Architecture At His London Studio

Over the past few weeks, The Modern House and Toast have thoroughly enjoyed bringing you Modern Pioneers: our collaborative series that explores the work of four independent makers and designers across the country. Each captured in their studios, they’ve been wearing hand-picked pieces from the lifestyle brand’s latest collection. In the fourth and final edition, we visit Takero Shimazaki, architect and founder of t-sa, at his practice in Elephant and Castle, where we discover the sensitive ways in which he approaches each project - no matter how they differ in size or style.

Better than people who sales real estate

He would be a wonderful friend.

[@philippemorvan3783]

Great video, very meaningful reflection. Thank you!

[@chantik]

His work is superb. And his stiff upper lip is truly well mastered.

[@jesslu1966]

It's nice to see his studio and stories as such, but I wish for a more in-depth in relation to his design - how is it experiential?

[@AAAAAAndreyAndreev]

its not :)

if I've learned anything about architecture while studying it for 4 years, its all about the yapping of the mouth. If you can make it so you know what you're talking about it doesn't matter whether you do or not

[@kobzkobzkobzkobz]

meh, this is just another common sense spelled for the 1000th time by some ostensibly wise guy. 2 min of this talk add up to nothing: merely a noise that fills in the space of “architectural youtube” - probably you should try to catch him while working on a existing project or ruminating about the new one; however that takes way more time and effort than just letting him brag about those in-genuine things that, in fact, doesn’t matter. and boy oh boy those comments below: they do share the maddening purposeless this video embraces just fine.

[@troynguyen4989]

I agree...but well, take it or leave it. It's the internet, what would you expect?

[@deechonada]

@Miki is that all you have to say?

[@lestermatos2989]

damn ahahaha #SAVAGE

Take a breath kid
