■ Concept
The initials of the “Co-Design Challenge” program are represented by three simple shapes: 〇, △, and □. These visually represent the core value of the “Co-Design Challenge” program: co-creation. The “〇” represents “unlimited possibilities and the connections between people.” The “△” represents “technological progress and ambition.” And the “□” represents “stability and sustainable foundations.” By combining these elements, we can visualise the aspirations behind the program’s concept of “Designing a future Japanese Lifestyles (community).”
