Building the Future of Architecture

Ruisekkeishi aims to address this gap through initiatives like the Kids' Architecture Class, which engages young minds and instills a passion for the craft.
Further, Japan is projected to experience a shortage of up to 790,000 IT professionals by 2030, making it crucial to develop a well-rounded skill set that embraces both digital proficiency and hands-on creation. This program is designed to enrich students' educational journeys by integrating both theoretical learning and practical experiences, thereby creating architects who are versatile and innovative.
