Future Space Design Competition

Real, online, AR and VR.
The options for experiences and spaces that are not tied to location are expanding.

This trend is accelerating due to the development of 5G environment and technology, as well as the pandemic.

While real-world experiences are expanding into online experiences and virtual spaces, giving rise to new digital-only experiences, I believe there are also physical experiences that can only be had in real spaces.

So, we will take advantage of the merits of both real and virtual reality.
We are looking for ideas for the spaces you would like to see in the future.
We look forward to receiving proposals for online spaces that amplify the appeal of real experiences, real spaces that accelerate online experiences, or spaces that provide experiences that can only be had virtually.


As we enter November, economic activity in the COVID-19 era is gradually expanding.
What are the recreational opportunities, student life opportunities, and communication styles?
It won't completely return to pre-coronavirus conditions.
Now the situation is changing
We are once again looking for ideas for creating a space where you can enjoy the present moment that you are experiencing.
Proposing a space for enjoying virtual experiences
We look forward to receiving your proposals for real spaces that can be enjoyed using digital technology.
