Ishinomaki Laboratory through Swiss and Japanese designers

摘要

A project is underway in which a total of nine individuals and one team of Swiss and Japanese designers encounter the different approaches to making things in both nations. Following a workshop held in Switzerland in February of this year, Swiss designers visited Japan in May, and each proposed designs for Ishinomaki Laboratory. How did a generation of designers that no longer needs to be conscious of the walls between cultures challenge an approach to making things bound by many restrictions and come up with a number of solutions?
