Arquitectum www.arquitectum.com, a company which organizes architecture competitions, is pleased to welcome the world’s architects to the International Architecture Competition "TOKYO 2010", to be held between the months of November 2009 to April 2010.
Over the past decades, Japan has become a leader society at design and industrial production, but especially at industrial development, which has successfully brought together both Occidental science and technology with Asiatic philosophy and history. Japanese design assumes the service of every aspect of modern life, still being a visual way that expresses universal truths and cultural values, with unique sensibility and mixture. Japan has contributed consistently to improve people’s lifestyles beyond limits, from the design of simple day-to-day use objects up to the most sophisticated ones, becoming an example of frontline design.
The challenge consists in designing a 100 meters high tower-museum, containing exhibition areas of 20th century fashion history and becoming a landmark for Tokyo. For this purpose, the site is located at Omotesando Street, since this avenue gathers the world's most important fashion houses, at their maximum magnificence. These buildings have been designed by Japan and the world's best architects. It is an incredible opportunity for the winning architect to gain professional acknowledgment at a potential growing market, such as fashion houses buildings in Tokyo.
