VS. is a cultural apparatus where diverse genres and ideas energize each other, fostering "good competition" to create new values.
Design supervised by Tadao Ando Architect & Associates, and designed by Nikken Sekkei Ltd., VS. opened in September 2024 in Grand Green Osaka’s Umekita Park.
Located in an expansive underground space of approximately 1,400 square meters, the venue features unique architectural spaces, including an exhibition studio with a 15-meter-high ceiling, offering a fresh impact on both visitors and society. This distinctive site, where top-tier creators such as Daito Manabe, Yuni Yoshida, and Tadao Ando have showcased their works, will host the announcement of this year’s award-winning works.
