The event was held at Tokyo Midtown Hibiya, sponsored by Mitsui Fudosan and Discover Japan, with the aim of creating an opportunity to think about a society that can live sustainably with greenery. It was a real event based on the theme of "Living with Wood," a special feature in the magazine "Discover Japan" published in August 2023. The atrium on the first floor was used as an introduction area to symbolize this event. In order to create a space that envelops the woodcarvings, we adopted the concept of "how to interact with wood," which is experienced with the five senses while being surrounded by the scent, sound, and light of wood. We were in charge of displays design, layout, and construction of this spatial production. In addition, a panel exhibition in the underground passage of Tokyo Midtown Hibiya introduced our R&D activities, "concept design by Hand," and displays actual prototypes.

This is an displays project for the Panasonic Group Booth at CES 2024. At CES 2024, we design, layout of the booth, which introduced the "future lifestyle envisioned by the Panasonic Group," which balances solving global environmental problems with a better life. Specifically, we introduced the future lifestyle and initiatives envisioned by the Panasonic Group in three categories: "Sustainable Energy (reducing CO2 emissions)," "Circular Economy (circular manufacturing)," and "Resource Optimization." In addition, we displays the latest products and solutions that will help improve the "quality of life" of each individual.

With the aim of promoting Obayashi Corporation's efforts for the 2025 Japan World Exposition (Osaka-Kansai Expo), we have set up a visitor room in the Expo site office and planned a facility to attend to Obayashi Corporation's stakeholders and guests of the Exposition Association. displays The structure is centered on a circular theater reminiscent of the large roof ring of the World Expo, and the outline of the Expo and explanations and mock-ups of the pavilion of Obayashi Corporation construction are displays around it. displays The fixtures are made of a single wooden tube, and the graphics output by the plotter are displayed using clamps, expressing the "on-site feeling" that makes use of the background of the field office and the "sense of realism" that the Expo is being created in real time at this location, and the plan is to have updatable so that the "now" of the site can be displays. In addition, we displays materials that reused CLT panels used in the demonstration experiment of the large roof ring, graphics with drawing frames as motifs, and the latest construction photos, aiming for a displays space that grows together with the site until the concept design and the World Expo, which brings out the uniqueness of Obayashi Corporation.

This exhibition was made possible by the signing of a comprehensive partnership agreement between Special Olympics Nippon and Chukyo University in May 2022. Located in the space of Chukyo University Sports Museum, which pursues the diverse values of physical culture, this special exhibition allows visitors to experience and learn about the appeal of Special Olympics, including the history and characteristics of Special Olympics activities and domestic initiatives. In addition to sports exclusively for people with intellectual disabilities, Special Olympics also promotes Unified Sports® in line with the global trend of promoting a "co-existence society" and "social inclusion." It is hoped that this exhibition will lead to the "realization of a society in which diverse people can live."

"Marunouchi Street Park" has been running in Tokyo's Marunouchi Nakadori since 2019 as a demonstration experiment of future area management that transforms "road space" into a comfortable "urban park space." Based on the concept of "Popping Summer Street - Marunouchi Nakadori where visitors can feel the summer and get excited," verification items included collaboration with initiatives that are in line with the times and trends, such as rugby and SDGs, setting up tables equipped with wind and solar power generation capabilities, and creating a venue for musical performances that involves local workers and visitors.

NOMURA exhibited a booth at the SC Business Fair 2024, the largest event in the industry where shopping center personnel gather together. The event was held at the Pacifico Yokohama displays Hall for three days from January 24 to 26, 2024, and in addition to exhibiting at a booth, we also held a free seminar on the first day of the event. The theme of this booth was "NOMURA Idea of Sustainable concept design." As part of our social good R&D activities, we are currently working on creating a "Sustainable concept design Manner Book" that realizes design, functionality, and environmental friendliness, and our booth was designed in accordance with the basic principles of the manner book. As sustainability efforts become more diverse, we are also continuing to take on various challenges, such as developing upcycled materials. However, this time, we have focused on understanding the characteristics of basic materials, which are indispensable materials for constructing spaces and will continue to be deeply involved in the future. The basic materials used were wood, cement, acrylic, copper, and iron. The lumber was arranged in a grid pattern, but the space was given an undulation, allowing visitors to walk around and enjoy conversation. The ratio of each material was calculated based on the embodied carbon emissions in the building's life cycle, and the characteristics of the materials were visually conveyed. In addition, the joints were made using clamps (※) instead of screws or adhesives, allowing the materials to be reused and reducing waste at the time of demolition, symbolizing the essential idea of contributing to the environment. We aimed to concept design a booth that would allow visitors to think about future approaches to sustainable concept design together with us, and that would allow visitors to gain new realizations and discoveries while showing their responsibility and gratitude for materials. *We have used the dedicated clamps from the "Tsunagi" project, planned and produced by Nikken Sekkei.

This is an displays concept design project for the comprehensive retail trade fair "JAPAN SHOP 2024" held at Tokyo Big Sight. We were in charge of the overall design, layout, and construction of Lilycolor Co., Ltd.'s booth. This year's theme was "Sustainable x Experiential Material Search for Design Decision Makers." In addition to seeing Lilycolor's "sustainable products," including new wallpaper and flooring products made from recycled waste, we also scattered points throughout the exhibit where visitors could "experience" the products themselves, by actually touching them and checking their texture and comfort. As a company that deals with interior materials, we aimed to create a booth that could be experienced in three dimensions, including the comfort of the space and the image of the actual space.

This is a project for the Panasonic Booth at the 6th China International Import Expo 2023.

The exhibition area is the largest at approximately 1,000 m2, making it the most important displays for Panasonic to strengthen relationships and expand business between B2G and B2B. We were responsible for design, layout and construction of the entire booth.

Mitsubishi Estate commissioned MEC Industry, a group company, to propose and develop new office interiors materials products. From among the many ideas, we worked on developing partitions and OA floors for sale as wooden products. At the Non-Residential Wooden Architecture Fair 2023 to be held in May 2023, we collaborated with Mitsubishi Estate and other booth stakeholders to consider design, layout that could be installed in order to displays the mockups created during the development process in the Mitsubishi Estate Group booth. After this fair, the stakeholders provided feedback and brushed up the mockups in terms of concept design, construction, and procurement for actual sales, which led to their installation at Mitsubishi Estate's headquarters. NOMURA also cooperated with the design and construction of the installation.

This is a development and demonstration event of Motome Beach in Kyonan Town, Awa District, Chiba Prefecture, utilizing Chiba Prefecture's "Tourism Content High Added Value Promotion Project". We named the new use of the beach after the summer high season "Beach Time" and planned and implemented the project from September to November 2022. The special event held on November 12th and 13th offered new seaside experiences such as the first and largest participatory sky lantern and candle night in the Uchibo region, the installation of upcycled art using local waste materials such as driftwood, and a gourmet food truck that allows you to taste the charm of Uchibo, and attracted many visitors. We promoted a series of efforts, from secretarial work for the application to Chiba Prefecture, planning, promoting the demonstration experiment of the event (planning, concept design, construction, operation, promotion), verifying the effects, and reporting.

While conveying the Panasonic Group's major policy, "Panasonic GREEN IMPACT," to visitors through displays, the exhibition booth embodied this policy through the overall spatial concept design, and created an displays booth that produced as little waste as possible. By considering the environmental impact, using a minimum of building materials and flooring, and using many recycled materials, the carbon footprint of the booth was reduced in terms of construction and logistics, and the group's policy was conveyed to the world. In addition, the symbol signs placed in each area were concept design using products. While providing a place where people could gather as symbols, by composing them out of products, the message was easily conveyed to both visitors and the media.

The SC Business Fair is the largest event in the industry, organized by the Japan Shopping Center Association, where shopping center related parties gather together. We also exhibited for three days from January 25th to 27th, 2023. In conjunction with the book "Let's create a happy space. - The hard-working people of NOMURA" published in February 2023, concept design the booth to be a "happy space" for visitors, with a white base, mirrored walls, books lined up on the fixtures and shelves, and coffee hospitality. A total of approximately 670 people visited our booth over the three days. * "Let's create a happy space. - The hard-working people of NOMURA": A book that introduces the cutting-edge space creation that we have created, from amusement facilities to hotels, museums, and offices, to spaces that evoke people's "happiness."

It is a project of "Marunouchi Street Park", which is being worked on as a demonstration experiment of future area management that transforms "road space" into a comfortable "urban park space" on Marunouchi Nakadori, Tokyo. The summer of 2022 will include a verification of what parks in the city center should be in order to make them permanent.・We verified the ideal way of safety management with a view to the park-like space. Based on the concept of "Marunouchi Street Park for everyone," we have created a city park space where people from all walks of life can feel nature with all five senses, connect with people, the city, and culture, and feel like spending a leisurely time. In addition, we arranged an inclusive table, a library, a refreshing space for light exercise, a street piano, etc. to provide opportunities for communication among visitors, and many people enjoyed them.
