Statement
HOWDUNIT is a design studio that explores how forms and functions come into being. By continually asking how things are made, we aim to discover new possibilities in design. In a world filled with meaning and information, we focus on the underlying processes that do not carry meaning on their own. Through this approach, we look for moments when new meaning begins to emerge.
HOWDUNITは形態や機能を生み出す「成り立ち」を問い続けることによって、新しい形態や機能に辿り着くことを目指すデザインスタジオです。意味や内容にあふれた現代で、それ自体では何も意味しない「成り立ち」を純化させるプロセスの中で、新しい意味が立ち上がる瞬間を模索しています。
