A team of individuals from a wide spectrum of fields examined many of the ways in which humans and water cross. And this is an exhibition, which offers the visitor an all-encompassing sensory experience using design as a medium through which to offer a new perspective upon water.
The director and graphic designer Taku Satoh put together a team of experts from a wide range of fields including anthropology, photography, lighting design, and design engineering.
The water project is a result of extensive research and is comprised not only by an exhibition, but is also an attempt to engage the five senses by creating different points of reference between design and water. The latter will be in the form of publications, websites, talk shows, and workshops.
Water is a new design platform in Tokyo.It will be not so much a museum as a research center for design, a place for thinking about design, and a place where things are actually made.
The aim is to share views and ideas with the many parties involved in design, starting with designers and including companies, craftsmen and engineers, as well as consumers, and to launch a movement to foster interest in, and greater understanding of design.
