Japan (Zhuzhou) RIA Urban Architecture Design Institute is one of the best architecture, planning and design companies in Japan. Its predecessor was Wen Xiang Architectural Design Office founded by the famous Japanese architect Yamaguchi in 1933. Yamaguchi studied under Gropius, the founder of Bauhaus, so Wen Xiang Architectural Design Office, which was active in 1930s and 1940s, and RIA afterwards are the backbone of contemporary Japanese Bauhaus school. In the development process of more than 70 years, the company has trained many excellent designers, and it is these talented and passionate designers who have maintained the good reputation and excellent tradition of RIA with their own efforts. This is a design group that has been at the forefront of Japanese architecture with avant-garde design concepts, and has won more than 100 international and domestic awards and commendations. As early as 1972, before the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, the founder wenxiang Yamaguchi and his successor Masaichi Kondo were already ahead of history. In order to promote Sino-Japanese friendship, we participated in the construction of the cemetery and monument of Nie Er, a famous Japanese composer, in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. In addition, in the 1960s, RIA was awarded the Kim Il Sung Medal by the North Korean government for actively supporting and participating in post-war North Korea's construction activities, and was praised by the Japanese emperor for its long-term participation in the construction of Japanese social civilization through architectural design activities, which shows that RIA is a group that attaches great importance to the sociality of architecture.
RIA has more than 500 employees and branches all over Japan. Its design strength is not only reflected in thousands of completed architectural works, but also in soft technologies such as planning and planning, and in the subsequent coherent and concrete implementation process. In terms of comprehensive strength, it is the eighth largest design company in Japan and the first city planning office in Japan. Ranked first among all Japanese commercial architectural design firms; Housing ranks second. Projects planned and designed in urban redevelopment, regional development, residential areas, industrial areas, sightseeing areas and nature reserves also account for a quarter of the total urban redevelopment in Japan, ranking first among all design institutions;
1996, RIA Shanghai branch was established (registered name is Shanghai Cluster Architectural Design Consulting Co., Ltd.). Composed of a group of dynamic designers from different countries. A lot of their work in Shanghai is based on sociality, and the core idea of company design is clearly reflected in a large number of works. The continuation of regional culture and ecological design techniques makes each work a "declaration", which puts forward its own views on the development of cities and buildings. Especially in China and Shanghai now, I'm afraid such a team is needed to discuss things beyond the commercial value of architecture.
RIA Shanghai Branch provides professional services in urban planning, architectural design, interior design, environmental design and other fields for the owners, and it is also a bridge to communicate with the Japanese architectural community. Bringing advanced Japanese design concepts to China will also bring China's architectural culture to Japan. He has cooperated with world famous architects such as Kurokawa Kiko, Otani Yukio and Isozaki Shinichi, and used their design concepts to serve the living space of China people and the real estate industry. The company actively uses various media to introduce Japanese contemporary architectural art, which is not only a small-scale exchange in the field of architecture, but also an effort to explain architecture to those who are interested in learning architecture, so that more people can understand contemporary architecture and even living culture in China and Japan. This work of widely popularizing architectural professional knowledge is of progressive significance to today's era with higher and higher requirements for the quality of life and work.
With the gradual standardization and maturity of the real estate industry in China in recent years, and the people's requirements for living environment and working environment are constantly improving, RIA's business focus is shifting, and it cooperates with some powerful real estate companies to create a comfortable, reasonable and future-oriented living, living and working space.
