Description
Attention is growing towards aluminum in the architecture and product areas, since it is reusable, recyclable, corrosion resistant, precise and light.
We are surrounded by various small-sized retailers such as station kiosks, street stores, unmanned stores, sales booths and taste testing corners of event sites, as well as mobile shops including various food stalls. Can't we make these shops more attractive by using aluminum? We await your ideas on new store styles that only aluminum can create, as well as proposals on the store design, the structure, facility and the construction system.
Although the contents of this competition are limited to “small-sized retailers created from aluminum,” we look forward to receiving suggestions with inspiration and boldness that make us stop and think about the origin of each design concept.
