The history of Tokyo design week can be traced back to

the "designer weekend" activity in 1986, renamed Tokyo design week in 1997.

There are three major activities during the design week, namely "Tokyo designer's Week"

"Designtide Tokyo" and "Tokyo Midtown design touch"

As the world's top design week, the exhibits

during the event include architecture, interior design

Industrial products, graphic design, clothing, public environment design,

community design and many other fields, with a wide range of contents

The theme of Tokyo design week 2013 is to collect

all kinds of ideas and make this design week a truly creative Festival

The theme of Tokyo design week 2012 is "house" and "play"

It is divided into five exhibition areas: tent area,

enterprise area, school campus, dome area and art area

In the past design weeks, containers have always been the favorite of designers,

It also shows that the container building has entered the era of art

The theme of Tokyo design week 2011 is pink,

This year's design week pays special attention to

the planning and design works of young designers,

The organizers believe that this is conducive to the dialogue

between these young designers and senior industry managers

These creative container buildings stimulate

the creative thinking of designers and inspire them through their own artistry

The container can be reused, which reveals a truth to designers:

Admirable works don't need to be created from scratch.

Sometimes you can reuse something in a different and fashionable way

Many container buildings have subverted the basic characteristics of container structure,

using combination, cutting and other technologies,

It's built into different shapes, which are not comparable to many traditional buildings,

At the same time, it also conveys the message that no

matter how good the system is, it can be changed at any time
