This is the third year for Design tide. Up till last year they were exhibiting in buildings under construction and vacant stadium spaces which served as a message in itself. This year they were exhibited at an event space located on the basement floor of a shopping mall in midtown Tokyo. Due to the convenience of transportation and the shopping malls location, it was commercially successful but it appeared to be less eventful. Mr Makoto Tanijiri coordinated the space which did a great job.
