21_21 Design Sight Exhibition “Secret Source of Inspiration: Designers’ Hidden Sketches and Mockups”
At the exhibition “Secret Source of Inspiration”, we presented our design process through two projects, using a series of study models and mockups. The first, Takanawa Gateway station, where we thoroughly studied the technique of “folding” in architecture, resulted in the second, a fabric which we developed in collaboration with Dassault Systemes. We wanted to emphasize that each project in our practice is related to the next and does not function as a complete work, but rather, the projects signify our chain of thoughts, an evolution.
The backdrop of the display uses Kuma’s own manuscripts for his books, and sketches of the models for the two projects above (Takanawa and Breath /ng).
