In 1995, he founded the NGO VAN (Voluntary Architects Network). Asking himself what architects can do to benefit society, he has been working for nearly 30 years to provide assistance to war refugees and disaster-stricken areas around the world.

坂本拓也 / ATELIER WRITEによる、京都・下京区の店舗「HUNTING WORLD CRAFTED BY DESCENTE.LAB POP UP STORE @FUJII DAIMARU」です。
老舗百貨店内の期間限定の店です。建築家は、ブランドの代名詞の“バッグ”から着想を得て、荷物を保護する“エアー緩衝材”を主要素材とした什器を考案しました。また、45°振ったラックの配置は滞留の促進と区画の内外の繋がりを意図しています。営業期間は2023年10月22日~11月5日です。店舗の公式ページはこちら。
