We warmly invite all interested parties to attend.

As lifestyles continue to change, so too does the significance of the city for people.

The Japanese architect Kengo Kuma described this in 2020 as follows:

“Human lifestyles are shifting from being home-centric to city-centric”

For three years, students from three different universities in Tokyo, Nagoya and Stuttgart exchanged ideas on the “City as Home” concept across different cultures. 

All interested parties are warmly invited to the exhibition opening.
