The lecture featured Shigeki Maeda from Geo-Graphic Design Lab, a renowned Japanese architect and educator, who shared his perspectives on contemporary Japanese architecture, sustainable design, and culturally sensitive architectural practices through his lecture:
“How Can We Design and Operate Public Spaces in Asia Without Separating ‘Making’ and ‘Using’?”
Participants gained valuable insights from his internationally recognized projects, including multiple Good Design Award recognitions for projects such as UMIKARA and Mont Park, as well as awards from the Japan Institute of Architects and the Osaka Association of Architects and Building Engineers.
