21_21 Design Sight

Stamane mi sono imbattuta nel sito di un posto che sembra essere in SL, e invece è in Real. Si chiama 21_21 Design Sight, è stato progettato da Tadao Ando, è diretto da Issey Miyake e si trova a Tokyo, quartiere Roppongi. Precisamente: "21_21 DESIGN SIGHT is a place where people can view the world through design. It will be not so much a museum as a research center for design, a place for thinking about design, and a place where things are actually made. The aim is to share views and ideas with the many parties involved in design, starting with designers and including companies, craftsmen and engineers, as well as consumers, and to launch a movement to foster interest in, and greater understanding of design."
Cosa significa "21_21 design sight"? "The word “sight” has a number of meanings including the ability to see, one’s field of vision or views, and to decipher or divine. A discerning eye and superior insight are essential to creating good design. In English, perfect eyesight is referred to as “20/20 vision”. We combined these various meanings to come up with the name 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT, meaning to see beyond today and into the future."
Basta dare un'occhiata al programma del centro e ci si trova in un altro mondo. Noi che a Milano pensiamo di essere nel cuore del Design dovremmo ogni tanto guardare con più attenzione a queste realtà. Io l'ho già messo nella mia trip schedule...
