ARCHI-DEPOT MUSEUM Offers ARCHI-THURSDAY, Regular Event to Promote Architectural Culture and Attract More Fans

The title of the event vol. 1 on June 20th is ARCHI-DEPOT MUSEUM x Students. We collaborate with International Film Workshop 2019 consisting of five universities such as Hosei University, Keio University, the University of Tokyo, Meiji University, and Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), and feature projection mapping in a warehouse.

On May 30th, we organized ARCHI-THURSDAY Vol.0, an invite-only kickoff event. About 200 guests in the fields of design, advertisement, IT, real estate as well as architecture visited the event, a special talk session featuring Masamichi Toyama of The Chain Museum and architect Satoshi Takae was presented, and the event received high acclaim.

ARCHI-DEPOT MUSEUM will continue to pursue a unique approach to promoting and harvesting a community of architectural culture.
