Milan Design Week 2018 'Soundscape' Exhibition to be Held
June 5 (Tue)–July 20 (Fri) 2018 at AGC Studio
AGC Asahi Glass (AGC; Headquarters: Tokyo; President: Takuya Shimamura) has announced plans to hold a "Milan Design Week 2018 Soundscape Exhibition" at AGC Studio in Kyobashi, Tokyo from June 5 (Tue) to July 20 (Fri), 2018.
At Milan Design Week 2018, the world's largest design festival held in Milan, Italy in April 2018, AGC Asahi Glass showcased "Soundscape," an experience-style glass-space installation. This year marked the fourth time AGC Asahi Glass joined the exhibit, and under the theme of 'sound' (auditory sensation) AGC Asahi Glass combined efforts with up-and-coming Japanese architect Motosuke Mandai as a creation partner to propose the idea of a new type of 'soundscape' featuring our sound-generating glass.
As a 'Soundscape' Exhibition, this year's Milan exhibit will be reproduced at AGC Studio with some adjustments to fit the studio environment. AGC Asahi Glass invites the public to visit AGC Studio and experience everyday sounds in a way never envisioned before through the clear resonance of transparent glass.
