Enhance Your Architectural Knowledge with TAC

TAC Corporation, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has been actively offering educational services aimed at individuals preparing for various qualifications, such as bookkeeping, tax accountant, and certified public accountant exams. On December 22, 2025, at 19:30, TAC will hold an online seminar titled “Enhancing Your Response Capabilities to New Questions in Architectural History for the First-Class Architect Exam.”

Many candidates may find their approach to learning architectural history limited to memorizing names, dates, styles, and architects, which could prove insufficient for this exam segment. Given that past questions are rarely repeated in this field, relying solely on memorization can be perilous. This unique seminar will traverse through time and geography, examining architecture from both ancient and modern perspectives.

Participants will gain insight into architectural history, viewing it through the lens of the evolution of styles and connections with culture and art. The seminar will facilitate an understanding of the connections and commonalities between Western and Japanese architecture, as well as examining components like “columns” and “walls.” By exploring architectural history in an interdisciplinary manner, this seminar aims to enable participants to connect isolated points of knowledge into a cohesive understanding, thus reducing reliance on rote memorization.
