The exhibition will have a section dedicated to Europe, which will include the Stone Sculpture Museum in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, three projects executed in the Chateau La Coste in Aix-en-Provence, France, as well as the projects Ando carried out in Italy – more specifically, in Venice – for the Palazzo Grassi, Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi and the Punta della Dogana Contemporary Art Centre. The exhibition also features the projects Ando undertook in Naoshima, Japan – Benesse House Museum/Oval, Lee Ufan Museum and Chichu Art Museum – and the Abu Dhabi Maritime Museum he designed in the United Arab Emirates.

Our economic system is in turmoil. Our resources are becoming scarce. In the meantime, we stick to the same economic models, producing more products, producing more waste.

What if, in an alternative economic model, income tax is replaced with tax on raw materials? What would this mean for the design industry? Will designers offer alternative ways of creating materials, will they specialize in upcycling, concentrate on services, go digital, or do something else?
