For the first time in its history, the ICC is holding an event about architecture!
Some of you might be thinking, “I am interested in architecture, but it seems quite complicated and difficult,” or “I am not an expert in architecture, but I love learning about it!” You may have noticed that there are many beautiful buildings around us as well.
Have you been to the Waseda International House of Literature (Haruki Murakami Library)?
For this event, the ICC has invited Mr. Keita Watanabe, the architect site supervisor for the Waseda International House of Literature, which was created from the pre-existing Building 4 on Waseda campus. It will be a meaningful time to have its architect and users gathered in the building to share some behind-the-scenes stories and honest opinions.
This is a special opportunity to learn about architecture in Japan and the world, and to enjoy a constructive discussion.
After joining this event, your everyday surroundings might look somewhat different and richer!
