Concept design for a women’s university specialising in food and nutrition set in the Kiryu countryside.

Daily menu, designed by the students, is served to the University staff, students and public in this open dining area.

The act of installation becomes a spectacle; engaging his public while demonstrating the multiple Permutations of Shopping.
