As part of Canada’s contribution to EXPO 2005 AICHI, the Design Exchange (Canada’s center for design research and education in Toronto) will come to Japan to profile the work of fifteen top Canadian designers and design firms, covering creative disciplines ranging from architecture and furniture, to industrial design. Canadian design reflects the vitality and diversity of its land and people. Building on the past to conquer the future, it welcomes both the natural and urban wilderness without irony or nostalgia.
