The main venue of DESIGNTIDE TOKYO serves as a platform for designers to give polished, carefully considered presentations of their work.

This year, architect Ryuji Nakamura(中村竜治) has been selected to design the main venue at DESIGNTIDE TOKYO. How will he interpret the works by this year’s participating designers? What kind of space will he create to showcase them? Fans of Nakamura’s previous work are no doubt already looking forward to what he will come up with this time.

Brainstorming sessions for potential ideas are already underway. Look out for updates on Nakamura’s ideas and creative process in the coming weeks! / via DesignTide
