Shinkenchiku DATA' is a web-based, bilingual service for searching and browsing the most essential architectural projects, professionally curated and published in 'Shinkenchiku,' 'Jutakutokushu,' 'a+u.' Generally, E-books enable reading through journals published in the past, and have a reading experience based on the topicality of the time. In contrast, our 'DATA' service is a database that offers to search through vast essential architectural archives on a project-by-project basis, going beyond chronology, architects, and location. Detailed search filters specialized for architectural projects and free word search functions support users to seek any architectural work.

Shinkenchiku' is Japan's leading architecture magazine, first published in August 1925. Shinkenchiku archives contemporary architecture in Japan and by Japanese architects, using the finest photographs, drawings, and other materials in a consistent editorial style. 'Jutakutokushu (Housing Special)' was launched in May 1985. As a sister magazine of Shinkenchiku, the journal focuses on housing design works in Japan. The journal also features contemporary housing issues, aimed at responding to the wide range of interests of our readership. 'a+u' was first published in January 1971, as a bilingual (Japanese-English) architectural journal that provides essential architectural coverage from around the globe.

Currently, 'Shinkenchiku DATA' database contains over 36,000 projects. The availability of curated projects is from the following journal and back numbers. 'Shinkenchiku': 1975 to the latest 'Jutakutokushu': 1985 (first issue) to the latest 'a+u': from 2000 to the latest *excluding some issues for a+u

Shinkenchiku': archive will be released on the 5th of every month (1 months gap after the publication issue date) 'Jutakutokushu': archive will be released on the 25th of every month (1 months gap after the publication issue date) 'a+u': archives will be released on the 15th of every month (3 months gap after the publication issue date)

You do not need to be registered with Shinkenchiku.ID to search for articles. If you register, you will be able to search for architectural works using advanced search functions and engines.

Few projects in the database which originally appeared in publications prior to the particular year (For 'Shinkenchiku,' January 1988, and for 'Jutakutokushu" January 2009) have been translated by the neural machine translation tool "DeepL." As there were no English texts in the publications at that time, the translation has been newly translated, so please note that the English text with the "i" icon is not the authorized text provided by the designers.
