What's the difference between architecture and interior design?



Katayama has ongoing projects worldwide, including "UNIQLO Global Flagship Stores (NY Soho & 5th Ave., Paris, London, Ginza)," "Yoyogi Village," "OZONE (The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong Main Bar)," "NIKE Harajuku," "the SOHO," and "PASS THE BATON."

What inspired you to become a designer? How do you approach projects? While architecture and interior design may seem similar, their project methodologies differ significantly.

This is a wonderful opportunity to hear from Katayama, who works internationally as an interior designer. Everyone is welcome to join, and we look forward to seeing you there.
