Our work begins from a broad rethinking of architecture and of the human workings behind it as vital activities. Doing this enables even a public building to become something of an “ecosystem” in which the diverse people can be seen as distinct “species”.

To do this we must find conceptual leads, or new lines, to tie together the workings of living things with architecture. In this exhibition, we are presenting these lines of thought and their intertwinings in an immersive, natural-historical way through a multidimensional array of various objects, including models.

We believe that newness is something that is rooted in the very essence of life, for to live means to continue changing. We are certain that a vital energy dwells in things that undergo renewal.

When we say “newness”, however, we are not talking about total unfamiliarity or a disconnectedness from the past. Rather, we are describing something that can actualize what already is but which still remains hidden. This is why we are interested in making architecture not by creating or inventing anew but through discovering.
