Chikako Terada

Principal

Chikako wanted to make films at first, to her parents’ disapproval; but in the end she decided to follow in her father’s footsteps and become an architect. She had always been interested in art and physics, so architecture seemed to be the best of both worlds. She likes how it exposes her to different dimensions in life and that she is able to experience its changes first hand as the field evolves. Architecture is also very nostalgic for Chikako; with each built project, she’s taken back in time to when she designed it and is greeted by old memories
