Comments from the organizer
Shibuya City Tourism Association Representative Director Jungo Kanayama
The NOVUS FUTURE DESIGN AWARD, which was the first attempt at SIW2020, has finally completed the final screening, and each award has been decided. Due to the spread of the coronavirus infection, the final examination was delayed four months later than planned, which put a lot of burden on everyone involved. but. Because "ideas" are intangible, we listen to and interact with the finalists directly, share the thoughts put into the idea and the future ahead of the idea, judge and judge the intangible. I wanted to share the moments that lead to action, so I was particular about the final judging committee in real life. The eight ideas that remained in the finalists were all based on everyday casual awareness. I felt that I was waiting for an opportunity for a project to solve problems and create possibilities with abundant ideas and various experiences. We would like to co-create both the award-winning ideas and the unfortunately unwinning ideas so that they can be implemented in this year's SIW2021. And I look forward to discovering new possibilities again this year.
Comments from the winners
Received the highest award, Social Innovation category award
Norie Aoyama, Hana Hayashida, Hiroki Taguchi
I courageously applied for the phrase, "The award-winning work is a practical award that moves toward realization." I feel that you were able to see not only the content of the project, but also the underlying thoughts and feasibility in both the document screening and the presentation.
While the presentation schedule was postponed, I interpreted that I had time, and worked on the design more. As a result, we were able to submit a poster sample of "whole body" at the present time. I hope that such a final obsession also helped convey ideas, thoughts, and feasibility. Thank you very much for the opportunity to explain at the venue instead of online.
I feel that corrections and verifications are still needed for implementation, but I will do my best not to end it with "picture sky". Thank you very much.
