Current Program
How can we use design to respond to and address issues related to our natural or social environments? 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT is dedicated to addressing themes that are rooted in everyday life. In keeping with this, we are pleased to announce the title of our second major exhibition, water.
“water” image : Tamotsu Fujii 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT director and graphic designer Taku Satoh will “curate” the exhibition. Mr. Satoh has put together a team of experts from a wide variety of fields including anthropology, photography, lighting design, and design engineering. The water project is a result of extensive research and is comprised not only by an exhibition, but is also an attempt to engage the five senses by creating different points of reference between design and water. The latter will be in the form of publications, websites, talk shows, and workshops. Our hope is that the exhibition will not just be a display of new design, but rather will be an experiment in ways to "expressing water through design."

About the exhibition logo – by Taku Satoh
“water” Logo The silhouette of a man holding an upside-down umbrella.This symbol, the logo for the water exhibition, was also designed in the hopes that it will become a global symbol for the promotion of utilizing rainwater as a means of conserving and enhancing our natural resources.
One of the biggest issues facing us all today is how to effectively harness and benefit from rainwater. True, rain, when it falls torrentially and leads to disasters can threaten our livelihoods. But if we can find ways to use it we will not be forced to rely solely on groundwater or water from polluted waterways or water that's pumped horizontally from faraway dams that uses precious energy. Rather, we will be able to use "vertical" water that flows freely from the sky above. Thinking about how we can make the best use of water means thinking about design in the 21st century. The silhouette of a person holding a common umbrella upside down signifies the relationship between water and human ingenuity, but also symbolizes a drastic change that must take place in our way of thinking about the manner in which we treat the environment.
