Biography

I am a Tokyo-born, London-based researcher, designer, and educator. My work is based on ongoing research about spatial perception defined by cultures and climates.

I worked for Hélène Binet as an architectural photographer assistant from 2003 to 2006. My photography work was exhibited in the main exhibition galleries of the 13th architecture exhibition of the Venice Biennale' Common Ground'. As a practitioner, I was the founding member of Asif Khan Studio in 2007. I was involved in significant public architecture competitions in the practice up to 2017.

As an educator, I have been a design studio tutor at Central Saint Martins on Spatial Practices Stage 1 since 2015, running a vertical design studio for Stage 2 and Stage 3 since 2020. I have run the UK and Japanese architecture exchange programmes at Kogaku University in Japan Tokyo since 2019, Drawing Matter Architectural Drawing Summer School since 2022, and Kingston school of art architecture school first-year design studio tutor since 2022. I have been the mentor of Accelerate CSM with Open city since 2020.

Currently, I am a design researcher at Central Saint Martins, running workshops and organising symposiums on spatial perception awareness in early architectural education.
