The shield I received when I received the award.

After the award ceremony, I gave a presentation together with my co-designer, Toru Kashihara. We used the same data that we had used in our presentation in Germany the other day.
We were extremely honored to receive feedback from the judges, who said, "The actual space is even more amazing than in the photographs."
