The theme of the 15th Able Space Design Competition to relaunch Tokyo Design Week, with some of the most significant projects, is the main topic of the exhibition-installation that Tokyo Company brings to Milan. Ren Kawasaki, a graduate of the Kyoto Institute of Technology, has created a model of a studio apartment like the one in which most Japanese students live. Masterpieces by three of Japan’s leading architects Toyo Ito, Kazuyo Sejima and Sosuke Fujimoto will be on display, and at the end of the exhibition, the work of primary school children from the Children’s Architecture School will be presented on the theme “what is a house and what is a city?”
