A study on architectural activities and works of Hiromichi Matsui

View through CrossRef
AbstractThis paper outlines the career and architectural activities of Hiromichi Matsui and clarifies the characteristics of his architectural works. We classified his career into three distinct periods: Tokyo, Milan, and Kagoshima periods. In Tokyo, he was in charge of interior design at Isamu Kenmochi Design Associates. Matsui cultivated the philosophy proposed by Kenmochi that emphasizes the sense of scale based on full‐scale drawing. In Milan, he worked as a partner architect at Gregotti Associati and introduced Italian architectural culture to Japan. In Kagoshima, he was involved in educational and social activities, which included a role as a professor at Kagoshima University, etc. He designed three architectural works that, while reminiscent of his works at Gregotti Associati, also considered the regional features of Kagoshima .
