Sustainability : What we can do for the future
Design is a tool for solving social issues. The City of Nagoya is steeped in culture and history. Might we be living here in Nagoya without truly recognizing the power and beauty of the things that surround us and our fine environment? Benefiting from the power of design, this project aims to make feasible proposals for the future by exploring the forms and frameworks we believe are worth passing on to future generations.
