Summer RikoChallenge 2022 Event
Why not join our “Architectural Firm Experience”?
A workshop to design “toilets that anyone can use,” catering to diversity

Nikken Sekkei is supporting the event “Summer Riko Challenge 2022—Experience Careers in Science and Engineering!” organized by the Bureau for Gender Equality at Cabinet Office, which aims to foster talent in science and engineering, and will be hosting a workshop.
The diversification of people’s lifestyles has accelerated even further in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.Many people are grappling with how to design architectural and urban spaces to meet the diverse needs of users in buildings and public spaces. To address these social challenges, Nikken Sekkei views its own workspaces as a testing ground and is exploring, from various perspectives, what constitutes a better office environment—one that benefits both employees and the environment.One of these initiatives is the theme of designing restrooms suited to this new era; we aim to create restrooms where everyone—regardless of age, nationality, disability, gender, or other individual characteristics (Private)—can feel comfortable. At this event, we invite you to experience a part of the process we use in our actual work, and we’ll explore together what it would mean to install new “restrooms that are easy for everyone to use” at your school.We hope you’ll join us.
