"Thinking about future Inheritance Design "
--Announcement of the lecture and video recording

[TOKYO ARCHITECTURE FESTIVAL Linked Project] Recorded footage of a lecture on the theme of "Inheritance Design" is now available to the public in conjunction with TOKYO ARCHITECTURE FESTIVAL

​The Inheritance Design Office was launched in 2023. It is a group of experts who identify the value of historical buildings, preserve them, and consider ways to restore, utilize, and record them in a way that meets the needs of modern society, while also developing various initiatives.
In recent years, as the importance of preserving the value of historical buildings, utilizing existing stock, and architectural archives has become widely recognized, Inheritance Design Office is playing an increasingly important role in society.

On the occasion of the retirement of Kazunori Nomura, Executive Fellow (currently Advisor to Inheritance Design), who has been involved in the preservation, succession, and utilization of numerous historical buildings in the Inheritance Design office while dealing with urban development and high-rise buildings along with the history of the company, which began with the establishment of the Marunouchi Architectural Office (1890), a lecture titled "Thinking about Inheritance Design in the Future" was held for employees. The lecture, titled "Thinking about the future of Mitsubishi Estate Group," was held for employees.
(May 8, 2025, at the Japan Industrial Club Hall, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo)

The lecture was held at the Japan Industry Club Building, which our company has worked to preserve and restore.
Advisor Nomura explains the initiatives at the Japan Industry Club Building.

As part of a collaborative project with the "TOKYO ARCHITECTURE FESTIVAL 2025," we will be releasing a video recording of the day.

We hope that this exhibition will provide new perspectives and new insights for those with an interest in architecture and cities.
Please take a look.
