Yosuke Kanemaki

Yosuke Kanemaki is a first-class architect in Tokyo, registered under number 369567, who founded his own office, Yosuke Kanemaki Architects, in 2015. He graduated in architecture from Waseda University in 2007 and completed his master’s there in 2009 in Masaaki Furuya’s laboratory, before working at the Renzo Piano Building Workshop in Paris, Tadao Ando Architect & Associates and Shigeru Ban Architects.
