About
Saki (Sakiko Noda) is a national licensed architect from Japan and doctoral student at TU Berlin in Germany. She is interested in real-scale architectural design practices realized with emerging digital technologies, searching for a new way of architectural expression together with a close observation of building sites and local materials.
She has studied architecture at the University of Tokyo and ETH Zurich. Before starting her PhD in Berlin, she was working as a design architect in Takenaka Corporation, where she gained design-build practices in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan.
