The Highly Anticipated Osaka Touring Exhibition.



The theme is "Glass Architecture with Diverse Light." This touring exhibition showcases architectural proposals for new ways to use glass, originating from a design competition for architects under 30 held last October. It is a continuation of the exhibition previously held at AGC Studio in Kyobashi, Tokyo.
