yamazaki kentaro design workshop

yamazaki kentaro design workshop is a tokyo-based practice led by japanese architect kentaro yamazaki. after four years working at irie miyake architects, yamazaki established YKDW in 2008, and is widely considered today as one of japan's most important emerging architects. from stepped nursery schools that form impromptu waterfalls, to houses with no interior partitions, yamazaki's designs reflect a desire to create unorthodox settings that foster a strong sense of community.
