Biography
Taiji Miyasaka entered academia after professional experience at architecture firms in New York and the Netherlands. Author of Seeing and Making in Architecture, his work synthesizes design research, material experimentation, and architectural installation to examine the interplay of natural light, materiality, and ecological sensibility in architecture. Projects such as Light Hole Shed, Night Blooming, and Black Shed have received recognition from AIA Seattle and ACSA. His development of Drywall Waste Technology (DWT) with his colleague David Drake, supported by numerous research grants, has resulted in an Architect Magazine R+D Award, two U.S. patents, and the Azure Award winning DWT Tiny House.
