Mr Takeshi Hayatsu

About

I studied architecture at Musashino Art University in Tokyo and then at the Architectural Association in London before embarking on my professional career at David Chipperfield Architects. From there I moved onto Haworth Tompkins and 6a architects, establishing my own practice in 2017; Hayatsu Architects' current portfolio includes both private and public commissions, collaborating with arts and community-led organisations.

I have also lectured at many architectural schools including Cambridge and Chelsea College of Arts and currently teach on the MArch at Central Saint Martins as well as a postgraduate studio at Kingston.

My research focuses on exploring craft, material, traditional and contemporary building techniques and self-build.
