The Metaverse Expo Tokyo: Exhibition Reports

The Metaverse Expo Tokyo took place at Tokyo Big Sight from June 28th to 30th, 2023, drawing an impressive crowd of approximately 47,000 visitors throughout the three-day event.

GARDE participated in the expo as “Team Meta 3030,” a dedicated group focused on providing innovative technologies to companies involved in various metaverse-related businesses. Led by a highly skilled architect from GARDE, the team brought the metaverse space to life based on authentic museum design drawings, achieving an unprecedented level of realism using current technology.

With the integration of cutting-edge visual effects technology, voice technology, chat functions, and avatar technology, the team aimed to create a metaverse space that is both captivating and scalable.

During the exhibition, GARDE offered visitors a hands-on experience of “COCO WARP,” a metaverse museum showcasing these advanced technologies. The team also took the opportunity to explain their metaverse business to interested attendees.

Staff members at the GARDE booth engaging with visitors, providing explanations about their services. The back monitor showcasing images of the Metaverse Museum of Art, “COCO WARP,” garnered significant attention from the crowd.

Many visitors immersed themselves in the realistic metaverse space using VR goggles, experiencing the cutting-edge technology firsthand.

The booth featured 3D avatars, skillfully crafted to appear three-dimensional from various angles. The avatars received positive feedback from attendees. Additionally, GARDE is developing a service that enables users to create their own unique avatars.

The exhibition served as a platform for GARDE to showcase their technological advancements in the metaverse, leaving a strong impression on visitors and industry professionals alike.

Under the concept of “infinite creation, one technology, into the unknown,” GARDE launched its new metaverse business in 2023. By utilizing our network from a wide range of business fields and our strength in providing sophisticated designs that we have cultivated over the years; we aim to offer metaverse spaces created by our first-class architects that will stand out among other companies in the same industry.

At the Metaverse Comprehensive Exhibition, visitors can experience COCO WARP, the Metaverse Museum, which is scheduled to pre-open on June 15. The museum is designed and produced by GARDE and operated by Aoyama Design Forum. The metaverse space, constructed from the design drawings in the same way as the actual architectural flow, is a space that feels comfortable compared to the real world. On the day of the exhibition, visitors will be able to experience this world with an even greater sense of realism using VR goggles.

“Prince Smart Inn Kyoto Sanjo” designed by GARDE were awarded in the “2022 Kyoto Global Design Awards”!

The Kyoto Global Design Awards is an international design award established to honor the world’s best designers who have contributed to the design trends of the year and to foster a friendly and co-prosperous ecosystem in the design world.
Winners of the Kyoto Global Design Awards are selected through a rigorous selection process in collaboration with the Global Summit Association (GSA) International Evaluation Committee.

In such 2022 Kyoto Global Design Awards, “Prince Smart Inn Kyoto Sanjo” was awarded in the Restaurant / Hotel / Bar category.

Below is an overview of the entries for each project.

Prince Smart Inn Kyoto Sanjo
・Category:Restaurant / Hotel / Bar
Concept: The design theme for the main space is “learning from the past”. By mixing inorganic and modern industrial materials such as concrete and deck plates with materials and furnishings such as bare lighting and big tables made of old lumber that have been milled for over 100 years, the space expresses warmth and nostalgia for the long passage of time that Kyoto has nurtured, as well as a future that allows and develops the newness that Kyoto has to offer. This is expressed from the approach. As you pass through the facade, which is a modern arrangement of a traditional machiya (townhouse), we have devised a way to heighten the sense of anticipation for this hotel by installing “noren,” which gently controls the light and visibility from the outside.

Category:Interior design/ Renovation
Concept:The design concept is to compare the preciousness of a very valuable traditional building,  Banke residence itself, to the brilliance of a jewel, with glittering decorations reminiscent of bijou (jewels) in key places. These glittering decorations are modern interpretations of traditional Kyoto crafts and ornaments, and are that which will adorn the new color scheme of the Banke residence. In order to achieve a design that blends and harmonizes with the surrounding environment, which has many historical buildings and historical aspects, we utilized the straight lines that are characteristic of Japanese-style architecture, while combining travertine colors and warm pink and bronze details in the patterns. The result is an unexpected space with a Western design.
