SEMINAR/EVENT
2019.05.10
Speaker: Takayuki Morikawa (Professor, Institute for Mobility Society, Institute for the Creation of Future Society, Nagoya University)
Facilitator: Akira Ando (Senior Researcher, Nikken Sekkei Research Institute)
Architecture and cities have evolved in close connection with “mobility.” It is no exaggeration to say that mobility spaces—such as parking lots, drop-off zones, logistics routes, and urban streets—have significantly influenced the nature of architecture and cities by serving as their interface.Currently, Japan, Europe, the United States, and China are engaged in a fierce competition to develop autonomous vehicles, and the Japanese government is also aiming to usher in a society of autonomous vehicles by the 2020s. How should our architecture and cities change in a society of autonomous vehicles? We will invite experts well-versed in autonomous vehicle societies and urban planning to explore what the future might look like.
■ Date & Time: Wednesday, May 22, 2019, 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM
■Venue: Nikken Sekkei Takebashi Office, NS Hall
(8th Floor, Room 809, Palace Side Building, 1-1-1 Hitotsubashi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo)
