Taking advantage of our 100th anniversary, we aim to provide a place for employees to learn and become independent.
Yasui Architectural Design Office 100th Anniversary Project
……
Yasui Architectural Design Office Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka/President: Yoshihiko Sano) will celebrate its 100th anniversary on April 1, 2024. We have been working on a 100th Anniversary Project since 2021 in order to rediscover value from a broad perspective that transcends employee generations and boundaries within and outside the company. We view this project as a place for our employees to learn and become independent, and our activities are led by young employees who will be responsible for the future of Yasui Architects and Design Office.
The group members who form the core of the activities are comprised of employees who participate voluntarily. In order to foster a culture of employees who think and work on their own, transcending the boundaries of age and position, we adopt a “bottom-up” approach that is driven by the enthusiasm of our young employees.
We aim to pass on our history to younger generations, give back to the local community the knowledge, technology, and passion we have cultivated, and help create a more prosperous society.

Activities to date include parent-child tours of Suntory Hall, exhibitions at Yamamoto Theater, and “Noh and Architecture” events for the general public. In 2024, when our 100th anniversary activities will be in full swing, we plan to hold an exhibition titled
“Machinaka Exhibition” in which our architecture itself will be exhibited to the general public. We also plan to hold an
invitation-only concert at Suntory Hall (large hall) and publish special commemorative issues in magazines and newspapers.

Suntory Hall parent and child tour
We held a tour for the general public (parents and children) to discuss the appeal of Suntory Hall from the designer’s perspective. As society as a whole heads toward an aging population, this was an opportunity for children, who will be responsible for the future of musical culture, to learn about the fun of music and architecture. Yamamoto Theater Conversation Event
The theme was “Noh and Architecture,” and the company president Sano and Mr. Akihiro Yamamoto held a conversation and Noh appreciation event for the general public. This was a place to experience Japanese traditional performing arts and architecture, and learn about the future of architecture.
