Event Announcement

To celebrate Tama Art University’s 90th anniversary, faculty members from the Information Design Course presented books chosen from their individual perspectives as works they wanted to share when thinking about the future of design.

At a time when technology and humanity intersect, the exhibition asked what we have read, considered, and created. The questions and hopes embodied in each selection were intended to create a place for thinking together about the future of design beyond the boundaries of information design.
