Founded in 2020 by Masato Igarashi, IGArchitects is an architectural practice based in Tokyo and Saitama, Japan. The studio, one of the winners of the ArchDaily 2025 Next Practices Awards, explores enduring architecture through a careful yet assertive treatment of structure, scale, and materiality. Prior to establishing his own practice, Igarashi worked at the large-scale firm Shimizu Sekkei as well as the Suppose Design Office, gaining experience across projects ranging from major developments to smaller, concept-driven works. This breadth of experience continues to inform IGArchitects' current focus on residential and commercial architecture across Japan.
交通导向型发展(TOD)是一种全面的城市规划策略,旨在围绕公共交通枢纽打造密集、宜居且充满活力的社区。通过将住宅、商业和休闲设施无缝整合在交通节点附近,TOD 旨在减少对汽车的依赖,增加公共交通的客流量,并刺激当地经济发展。政府机构通过区划改革、放宽容积率(FAR)、出售空权以及促进公私合作来为公共基础设施筹集资金,在这些发展中发挥着关键作用。目前东亚已涌向了许多成功的 TOD 案例。而在纽约市等不同背景下复制这些模式的努力突显了将 TOD 原则适应当地条件、地理特征和社区需求的重要性。
