Terunobu was for years an architecture historian and in 1991 he started practicing architecture. I love his work because it is so whimsical and reminds me of something Hayao Miyazaki would come up with.

Well, I hope you enjoy his buildings as much as I do. I really enjoy his use of charred wood and fantastical construction especially in such a rigid profession. Please let me know what you think about his architecture below and have an excellent day!
