Seminar on Architectural Management - Hotel Focus

On May 8th, 2026, a significant seminar, titled 'Kawahara Hidenori's Architectural Management Study Session - Hotel and Architectural Management,' will take place, organized by ALFA PMC, a subsidiary of Creek & River Co., Ltd. This event will be held in a hybrid format (both in-person and online) and is free of charge.

This seminar aims to equip today’s architects, constructors, and managers with essential knowledge and networking opportunities in the burgeoning area of hotel-related architectural management. With the rapidly evolving socio-economic landscape, tourism is identified as a high-potential field for market expansion in facility architecture. The rise in inbound tourism and domestic activities poses significant demands for infrastructure, particularly hotels.

Many professionals may be aware of the active hotel construction sector yet lack opportunities to update their knowledge or share insights. This seminar provides those individuals, as well as anyone feeling stagnant in their careers, with necessary tools and inspiration to advance their expertise in architectural management.

• - Moroyama Takamasa, a real estate advisory manager at Deloitte Tohmatsu, experienced in hotel development management.

The program, named 'Architectural Management School,' has successfully trained over 300 individuals since its inception in 2023, highlighting strategies and insights necessary to navigate the future of advanced architectural business.
