Design Ah! Exhibition in TOYAMA
March 21 - May 20, 2018

The Design Ah! program on the NHK Educational TV was created to nurture children’s “design minds”. This exhibition expands the practice of Design Ah! into an experiential space. Excellent designs have innovations that further improve connections between people, and between people and things. For the Design Ah! TV program, “design mind” is interpreted as the combination of sensibility and thinking to be aware of one’s environment [LOOK], investigate what kinds of problems exist [THINK], and make a better situation [CREATE], using a diversity of expressions. This Design Ah! Exhibition was created so that visitors can experience and participate in this “ design mind”. Works from the previous Ah! Exhibition, held in 2013, Tokyo [attracting some 220,000 visitors over a three month period of time] have been revamped and revisited, to investigate themes ranging from objects and phenomena in our daily environment to broader concepts. Our wish is for children ― who will be responsible for the future ― to experience the richness of looking, thinking, and crating with their “design minds”. (Exhibition Directors: Taku Satoh etc.)
