Koichi Takada Architects

Koichi Takada belongs to a new generation of architects that strive to return nature to the urban environment. A refined Japanese sensibility informs the architectural designs of his practice, Koichi Takada Architects, based in Sydney, Australia.

The 2021 publication Koichi Takada: Architecture, Nature, Design outlines his career to date, details his visionary, nature-inspired architecture, and aids his mission to encourage the next generation of architects to consciously shape the future of humankind.

Takada’s architecture reconnects humans to the natural environment, drawing inspiration from organic forms and local contexts. “Questioning the loss of nature in cities opens up new possibilities in architecture and design. In nature we find our ability to regenerate.” Koichi Takada
