We are excited to announce the second edition of the ISE FENIX PROJECT, an international urban design and build workshop that brings together students and professionals not only from the Czech Republic, Holland and Japan to envision a more sustainable, walkable, and resilient future for Ise city.

Building on Vol.1 Success

In March 2025, our first workshop brought together 15 students from 6 countries who developed comprehensive strategies addressing climate adaptation, walkability, public space quality, heritage preservation, and community engagement. Teams created both immediate tactical interventions and long-term visions, presenting their proposals directly to local citizens and municipal representatives. ISE FENIX PROJECT OUTCOME
