Season 6 Episode 7: Designs on Life

Takahiro Endo is a 28-year-old architect working in Ishinomaki in northeast Japan. As the city takes shape again following the 2011 tsunami and earthquake, Endo dismantles, designs, and renovates interiors in vacant houses to provide cheap yet chic spaces for young people. The positive, forward-looking energy in Ishinomaki following the disaster drew him to the city. But now that things there are beginning to settle down again, Endo has concerns about his professional limitations. We follow his everyday life as he revaluates his options.
