工芸プレス This conference will be hosted by DG co-founders Kaoru Hayashi and Joichi Ito, who have been active on the front lines of the Internet since the dawn of the Internet, for those who are interested in cutting-edge Internet technology and the businesses that arise around it, and deepen their understanding through discussions with experts from Japan and overseas.
About 30 years have passed since the birth of the Web. In the era of Web 1.0, where information can be “read”, and in the era of Web 2.0, where anyone can easily “write” and transmit information. They have always been led by the evolution of technology. And now, with the rise of the digital native generation that has grown up with the Web and the development of technologies such as blockchain and OSS (open source software), the era of web3 is about to be born, where anyone can freely build a community and “join”.
About 100 years ago, a new movement “Bauhaus*2” was born in Germany. By actively utilizing modern materials and fusing disciplines such as art, design, architecture, and crafts, the foundation for modern product design in modern society was laid.
In today’s period of change, a new culture and aesthetics of the digital society is emerging. As in the era of the Bauhaus, in order to create the movement of the future, it is important to use the concept of “Digital Architecture,” which is what kind of materials are used to assemble architecture*3 that suits the times.
NCC TOKYO 2022 Fall, the 23rd edition of the event since its inaugural event in 2005, will take a bird’s-eye view of next-generation technologies that are emerging around the world and think about the future of “Digital Architecture” through discussions with pioneers in their respective fields.
How should we design based on the values of the global society of the future, such as equality, diversity, prosperity, and sustainability for all people? Together with experts from Japan and abroad who have created the world of the Web so far and participants who “join”, this will be a place to delve into “New Digital Architecture” from various perspectives.
Key guests include Lawrence Lessig, a cyber law authority and founder of Creative Commons, Professor at Harvard Law School, and leading NFT artist Pplpleasr, founder and founder of the MIT Space Exploration Initiative. Experts from various industries related to next-generation technologies, such as Ariel Ekblaw, director of space architecture projects, and Taro Kono, who recently became the Minister of Digital Affairs, will be invited to discuss the shape of future society.
On the morning of November 4, when NCC TOKYO 2022 Fall will be held, a presentation/award ceremony will be held on the same day by startup projects participating in onlab web3 (https://onlab.jp/web3/), a global incubation program that challenges next-generation businesses through web3.

It is also an art that follows this trend. Its existence is said to have laid the foundation not only for educational institutions but also for modern design. Bauhaus means “house of architecture” in German.
