Tokyo/Japan

Following an invitation of Keisuke Toyoda , most of the MAS group  participated in an intense two week  workshop in Taipei/ Taiwan, hosted by  NCTU (National Chiao Tung University). The rest of the group took advantage of the gap between  this event and the upcoming workshop in OPU (Okayama Perfectural University)  organized by Makoto Sei Watanabe and travelled to Tokyo for some days. There, they got  further insight and a closer look into diverse architectural sights  that vary from the vernacular to contemporary masterpieces and get familiar with the cultural achievements of the edo period. During this short time they paid a visit to Noiz Architects, where they had the oppoutunity to look from”inside-out”  the work of an innovative japanese practice. Thank you for hosting!
