Our company supports April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release represents a dream of Kume Sekkei Co., Ltd.
At Kume Sekkei, we strive to enrich people's lives and society through architecture. Upon completion, architecture transforms into a part of the city's scenery, a gathering place for people, and a catalyst for new encounters. We believe that the emergence of innovation and communities from these interactions contributes to the betterment of individuals and society.
The crucial aspect is that this richness is not fleeting; it should live on with the sentiments of those involved with the architecture and become ingrained in daily life, evolving with the changing times. We believe that architecture is called upon to ensure that memories associated with a place are passed down through generations, and that new values and possibilities are fostered and sustained through this accumulation of experiences.
Whether it's passing by a building daily on the way to and from school, spending cherished holidays with loved ones, or discovering new interests during a casual visit—each profound experience accumulated in that place, from ordinary routines to special heart-stirring moments, is etched into memory and eventually becomes an irreplaceable recollection.
By engaging with the architecture beloved by the city and the experiences of the people who gather there, our role is to understand and address social challenges, then integrate these insights into our designs. We will continue to genuinely approach architecture and commit to design, striving to create buildings that resonate with human activities and generate rich experiences.
To realize our dream, we are hosting the Kume Photo Contest 2026.
The theme for this year is "My Memories and Architecture." Please share with us, accompanied by photographs, the architecture that resides in your memories and the recollections of those places. Every single photo you submit will serve as an opportunity to generate new value for architecture.
