His major works include the Hachinohe Art Museum (previous position), the Furukawa Toshiie Memorial Museum "Agriculture and Life" private museum in Okugawa-go, Nishiaizu-machi, Fukushima Prefecture, and the venue design for Suzuki Moeka's "Röntgen Art Institute and its Periphery".

Junpei Mori (left in profile photo)
Representative of interrobang. He leads multifaceted projects that transcend existing boundaries, focusing on designing new "mechanisms" and "circuits" that connect art, society, and cities.
Since 2013, he has been involved in the establishment of PARADISE AIR, an artist-in-residence program in Matsudo City Chiba Prefecture, where he serves as director. Furthermore, since 2024, he has been a specially appointed associate professor at Tokyo University of the Arts, where he serves as director of The Way Of, a project that systematizes methods for the social implementation of art. He has also directed projects such as VIVA, a learning hub utilizing an entire floor of the Toride Station building, and YAU, an art urbanism hub in Yurakucho, constructing situations where artists are involved in the daily life of the city from an architectural perspective. Going beyond the framework of architectural design, he practices new ways of cultural existence in society by designing invisible structures such as institutions and communities.
