Slide Talk 2019
Learning from cities around the world
Architecture and Art in Olympic Cities
-What will the Tokyo Olympics show the world?
The Olympics, a festival of humanity, is an international exposition that explores the limits of creativity through the body. Barcelona 1992 showed the joy of creativity to the fullest. Beijing 2008 was a stage to present a leading economic and cultural nation. Even in Los Angeles and London, which hosted the Olympics for the second time, there was no tension and the Olympics were without principles or goals. What are the principles and goals of the Tokyo Olympics 2020? They play the flute but don't dance. Can they break the second jinx and show us an advanced anime city?

Slide Talk 2018
Learning from cities around the world
#13 The overwhelming momentum of urban development in Guangzhou and Shenzhen
China is trying to rewrite the entire world order and relationships that exist until now.
Looking at the latest developments in the central cities that are driving this movement, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, we can see what ideals and ideas China has in mind as it tries to build a new China.
Japan has been stuck in a deflationary spiral for the past 30 years, following the collapse of the bubble economy and the Lehman Shock.
The time has come to open our hearts and sincerely learn from China's energetic growth without becoming jealous.
