Shinozaki’s background of study in architecture includes undergraduate and postgraduate education at Tokyo Institute of Technology (graduated in 1986 and 1989, respectively). Under the inuence of design education by Kazunari Sakamoto and Kazuo Shinohara, he studied the architectural planning theory foundation under Yoshitsugu Aoki.Another important aspect of his architectural background is studying at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETH) as a MEXT dispatched scholarship international student from 1987 to 1988) while in graduate school, and studying at the studio of Ticino architect Mario Campi under the influence of Italian rationalism and critical regionalism.After graduating from graduate school, Shinozaki worked at Toyo Ito & Associates, Architects engaged in a large number of practical works in design and supervision as well as discussions and proposals on new architecture. Since 2001, while having his own atelier, he has designed and cooperated with Toyo Ito & A.A. and worked as a chief architect on projects both in Japan and overseas. His major works include Gallery U in Yugawara, Gavia Park in Madrid, the Relaxation Park, the Barcelona complex, the Amiens Museum of Contemporary Art (FRAC) in France, and the Koenji performance theater, etc. During this period, he has also given lectures in Spain at Logroño (Rioha) International Conference (II Foro Internacional “Territorios 21”), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), etc., and at Alicante Architects Association. Shinozaki worked as the architect responsible for the Toyo Ito exhibition (2006 to 2008 Tokyo Opera City, Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Modern Art, etc.).In 2008, he joined the faculty of the Nihon University CIT Habitation Space Design Course led by Yoshifumi Nakamura as a part-time lecturer, and was mainly in charge of exterior design lectures and practical skills. After becoming an associate professor at the Faculty NUCIT in 2011, Shinozaki participated in the launch of new Architectural Design Course and worked with both architects Kosuke Izumi and Rokuro Hashimoto to create a new educational framework and curriculum. In recent years, his teaching diploma works winning third place nationwide (2017 JIA Diploma) and the first prize nationwide (2018 Akarenga Diploma) have contributed to architectural education.All the activities and discussions throughout his career at universities and graduate schools, and at Toyo Ito & A.A. were ideal professional experiences where there was no border between research study and practical projects. Shinozaki hopes to provide the same experiences and opportunities here at NUCIT as well.SPECIALIZATION*1) Certified First Class Kenchikushi (Kenchikushi is a general concept in which a person plays the dual role of architect and building engineer) by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation, the Government of Japan Registration No. 267491.
