Takuya Shiotsuki

Combining architectural perspectives with 3DCG, we explore designs that bring new possibilities to form and process.

He studied architecture and urban design at Chiba University at the same graduate school, and began 3DCG production using Blender in 2011. Since 2015, Takenaka Corporation has used 3DCG for construction proposals,

Independence in 2024. Currently, as a first-class architect, he is engaged in creative activities that make full use of digital technology, such as housing design and furniture production using 3D printers, with a focus on space design.

I have been a member of the Takenaka Corporation Design Department as an architectural visualizer since 2016, and began proposing my own designs using 3DCG from around 2017. I have been working on geometry engineering using Grasshopper and Python since around 2018. Currently, concept design, visualization, and geometry engineering are carried out consistently.

We are also working on planning, shooting, and editing completion videos and branding videos.
