This year is the 17th time that Tokyo Midtown has held the TOKYO MIDTOWN AWARD, which is comprised of competitions in the two categories of design and art aims to introduce and attract support for talented designers and artists and lead to collaborations. 14 winning works, selected from a total of 1,767 submissions, will be announced and exhibited.

Focusing on two themes, "rare metal production" and "world population," this exhibition introduces video works that use modeling and visuals generated from data, and a group of works that are derived from them in a physical form that is not confined to video. This exhibition combines the process of expanding the visual representation of data using 3DCG, which we have been working on while exploring the role of visual design for social themes, and the reconstruction of the information form itself by unraveling video media.

“Yawarakasaka” is a park designed by the design studio nendo for Tokyo Creative Salon 2024.The materials used in the installation were unraveled and knitted into sofas.It is derived from the three words ""yawaraka (softness)"", ""aka (red)"", and ""saka (hills)"", reflecting the undulating hills of Akasaka.Woven red cushions of various sizes, reference hills and can be used as a playground for relaxation and climbing, as well as a space for socializing.After the event, we hope the rewoven cushions will interweave diverse people and values.
