Tsuchiya Sadao coordinator of HOUSE VISION.

In 2011, Kenya Hara of Hara Design Institute launched the project “House Vision.” Its mission is to build homes with a “new common sense,” instigating a series of discussions with renowned Japanese architects and firms on “future residences.”

In 2013, five Chinese architects, Yung Ho Chang, Wang Yun, Wang Hui, Zhou Yanmin, and Liang Jingyu, launched a non-governmental academic research team called Resident Research. Its purpose is to break Chinese residential design out of its market-oriented development and explore new experimental models to incorporate into the real estate industry. Each member of the research team works within a different field, including architecture, transportation vehicles, appliances, and furniture.
