After arriving in Fukuoko a bit late and madly booking into our hotel, we all headed off to meet with Tsuneo Noda who is the brains behins a fab development calledKonya 2023 project which has transformed an old building into an exciting design and art and architecture complex.

He was a wonderful host and showed us all round the building and spoke of the project. if you read japanese go to http://www.travelers-project.com/ or go and look at the pictures.


We were all excited to hear about the artists studio as well. mmmmmmmmmm what could we propose to spend a month there.

The building comtained a gallery, offices for a curator and other design frofessionals, a photographer's galler, residences for artists/designers and a cafe downstairs. All furniture signage etc is by people in the building. INSPIRATIONAL
