21_21 DESIGN SIGHT director and graphic designer Taku Satoh will direct and 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."
