Prior to the WWII bombings, the city was comprised of low-rise, traditional Edo-period buildings that were eventually destroyed. Today, the vibrant metropolis acts as a gate to the future, where landmarks such as the Tokyo Skytree, the worlds tallest tower, have pushed the boundaries of architecture and construction technology. Architects such as Kenzo Tange, known for his work on the Yoyogi National Gymnasium, and Kengo Kuma, designer of the Japan National Stadium, have left indelible marks on the citys skyline.In parallel, Tokyos dense urban fabric has driven contemporary architects to develop an impressive and pioneering language of tall, compact buildings with an array of uses: residences, office spaces and commercial centers that incorporate cutting-edge sustainable and earthquake-resistant technologies have managed to transform the city into an urban landscape filled with architectural character and innovation.With so many architecture firms to choose from, its challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs.

Endo Architect and Associates Endo Architect and AssociatesArchitecture is current circumstance. The built form is thus an integrated part of its environment. I do not just make architecture as an object, but I wish to involve the surrounding context, influence others, and design something like a mass of air which wraps around architecture, people and activities all together. It is more than an action to express architecture, but also an action to mark the current time using architecture as a resource.The importance in designing this current circumstance in each region is to know what the social capital is in that area. A lot of the community has not realized their value and therefore they have not known the existence of their social capital. They are too close to understand themselves what their capital is. Architects today, when designing as professionals, are required to find the regions social capital and report back to the community. I believe that those important social capital needs to be utilized and well expressed through its architecture.Some of Endo Architect and Associates most prominent projects include:Villa in Tsurudamari, Nagano, JapanAnniversary Hall University of Tokyo, Tokyo, JapanLa Cienega West, Nagano, JapanHomigaoka Kindergarten, Toyota, JapanVilla in Miyama, Nagano, Japan The following statistics helped Endo Architect and Associates achieve 14th place in the 30 Best Architecture Firms in Tokyo: Featured Projects 4 Total Projects 6 13.
