Shuhei Endo Architect Institute is a Japanese architecture studio founded by Shuhei Endo, known for its experimental approach to structure, material, and spatial expression.

Based in Osaka, the institute has gained international recognition for its innovative use of corrugated steel and other industrial materials, often pushing them beyond conventional applications. Endo’s work explores the relationship between architecture and infrastructure, frequently blurring the boundaries between building, landscape, and urban systems.

A defining concept in his practice is what he calls “paramodern architecture,” an approach that merges the expressive qualities of parametric design with the physical realities of construction and material behavior. Rather than relying solely on digital form-making, his projects emphasize how materials bend, fold, and perform structurally in real-world conditions.
