The ultimate objective is to make the Y-GSA a nucleus for architectural culture in Japan, to create a sense that something intriguing is happening in architecture in this place in Yokohama. I believe it would be interesting if the Y-GSA transcended the framework of Yokohama National University and became a nucleus for Japanese architecture. If multiple centers of architectural culture or thought developed, a critical approach to architecture would become possible. We would be able to transcend the limits of a university education and broaden the framework for architectural culture. By creating the Y-GSA, it may be possible to make an educational institution into a center of architectural culture. Students would have an opportunity to be in the center of things.
