New Trends of Architecture in Europe and Japan 2002
New Trends of Architecture 2002 is the second in a series of annual events bringing together young European and Japanese architects. Launched by a group of officials from the EU Embassies and Cultural Institutes in Japan and the Delegation of the European Commission, New Trends of Architecture 2002 will bring fifteen promising European architects from each of the EU member States to display their work and share their ideas and experiences with their Japanese counterparts.

The fifteen European architects were selected by prominent architects from the countries hosting Europe’s cultural capitals of the year. For the second edition, Alejandro Zaera-Polo from Spain and Bob Van Reeth from Belgium have acted as the European Commissioners. >From the Japanese side, Toyo Ito has selected five leading Japanese to participate in the event.

The European and Japanese architects and commissioners will take part in a Symposium to be held in Tokyo’s Maison Franco-Japonaise on Saturday June 1. Work by the twenty architects will be on display throughout June at Hillside Forum. The exhibition will then travel to Salamanca and Belgium.
