Time Out says

Showcasing 68 designs from around the world by Kengo Kuma, this timely exhibition showcases the mindset and creative process of one of Japan's most sought-after architects.

With the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games now underway, there is a special section dedicated to the Kuma's vast Japan National Stadium, complete with models of the museum and explanations of his designs that have never before been shown in public. 

As a nod to his predecessor Kenzo Tange's redevelopment plan for 1960s Tokyo, Kuma is dedicating a section of this exhibition to his own vision for Tokyo after 2020. But there's a slight twist. While Tange approached his plans for the city from a bird's-eye, top-down perspective, Kuma focused on what Tokyo's streets would look like from a lower vantage point. Thus, Kuma's proposal for redeveloping Tokyo is presented from the perspective of a cat.
