SUEP. 10 Stories on Earth

SUEP. is an architectural practice that has been engaged in design activities based on the theme of "symbiosis with nature" since its establishment in 2003. How can we create architecture that brings happiness not only to people, or to the earth, but to both? In this book, ten architectural projects undertaken by SUEP. are introduced as a series of stories to highlight the trajectory of their thinking. In addition to the architectural works, numerous researches and studies conducted in the making process provide clues for thinking about the future of the earth.
