BAU SHIBUYA
We are opening a new educational facility in Shibuya, acquired in 2022, as "BAU SHIBUYA."
Kuwasawa Gakuen, the educational institution that established Tokyo Zokei University, has been deeply influenced by the philosophy and practices of the German comprehensive art school "Bauhaus" since its inception. Inheriting this legacy, we have chosen this name to realize new developments in the modern "Shibuya" area, where diverse cultures and trends intersect.
"BAU SHIBUYA" aims to operate as "a creative hub open to society."
BAU SHIBUYA is a reinforced concrete building with 4 floors above ground and 1 basement floor, located a 1-minute walk from the main campus of Kuwasawa Design School.
