Day 3 began with a special lecture by architect Professor Kengo Kuma of the University of Tokyo.
Following a keynote address by architect Masataka Sakano, participants took part in a four-part workshop centered on the theme of “Liberating the Senses.” After the workshop, participants formed groups of three to discuss the three topics of “Innovation, Bodily Sensations, and Space,” jotting down their thoughts in sketchbooks, while Masataka Sakano summarized the key points.
The Meta University graduation certificate was recorded on the blockchain—along with a paper certificate—with the cooperation of Kenji Saito, a senior researcher at the Keio University SFC Research Institute, who also served as a workshop instructor on the second day of Meta University.

Thank you very much to all the participants and instructors.
