DESIGN ARCHIVE

ABOUT DESIGN ARCHIVE
PROJECT

About the design archive

As you all know, Japan is the third largest economy in the world.Although it is being driven up by emerging countries such as China, trust in Japanese products and admiration is still large even from a global perspective.It is also an evaluation of Japanese design (architecture, product, graphic, fashion, content) at the same time.
However, conservation research activities of ideas and processes (works, sketches, drawings, models, etc.) that are the sources of the "JAPAN DESIGN" are largely lagging in Europe and the United States.In fact, there are no educational institutions or research institutions that conduct research and research on design museums and design archives in Japan.
But time will not wait.The first generation who contributed to the development of postwar Japan's design died and aged, its precious design heritage dissipated, and it is on the verge of being destroyed.In fact, most of their work and materials are kept secretly by families, relatives or stakeholders, or disseminated to domestic and overseas, even the location or contact information is lost.
This project conducts surveys on the actual situation of freelance designers and architects and organizations conducting design archiving activities to the actual persons, relatives and related persons, publishes the results to the WEB, and shares it widely By doing so, we aim to nurture the momentum of design archiving.To that end, we are conducting activities based on the following three projects.
In future, in collaboration with individuals and organizations with similar goals, we are aiming for a platform to discuss and discuss future Japanese design archives and design musical origins.
