In response to this request, we decided to concept design a passageway space that expressed Akikusa Gakuen's identity. The most important aspect of this plan was to create a space that people can continue to feel attached to. Therefore, this time, we created the origins of concept design together with the students in a workshop, and worked on "concept design progress" to create a sense of attachment and pass it down.
