Common Nexus Opening Commemorative Symposium / Nagoya University Architecture Comprehensive Seminar

A symposium will be held at the “Common Nexus” of Tokai National Higher Education and Research System, which opened at Nagoya University’s Higashiyama Campus and was designed by our studio, starting at 4:00 PM on Wednesday, December 17th.
Common Nexus (known as “ComoNe”) is a new space designed as a “collaborative hub” connecting the university with the local community and research with society, promoting diverse exchange and learning.
This symposium will reflect on the philosophy and process behind ComoNe’s creation while discussing the future vision for the campus and the city.
A guided tour of the site is also scheduled to begin at 3:00 PM. We look forward to your participation.
