Visiting Tokyo

International Architects Network in Japan

In July 2009, foreign architects, architectural engineers and experts working and living in Japan set up “International Architects Network” to promote UIA2011 TOKYO to the architectural network of the world. The first activity they launch is the article-contribution relay, which the members write in turns about the charms of Japan in each perspective; not only architecture and cityscape but also its original/unique culture such as food, fashion and lifestyle.
