Art-Business: The Space Between — When Placemaking Becomes Strategy
Art-Business: The Space Between explores the intersection where art, culture, and business quietly shape how we experience cities, brands, and physical space.
In this second episode of Art-Business: The Space Between, I sat down with Theo Knipfing, founder of Plus Curiosity, a Tokyo-based placemaking consultancy working with leading real estate developers, multinational firms, and global luxury brands.
As our world continues to digitize at unprecedented speed, Art-Business: The Space Between asks a fundamental question: why do physical spaces still matter?
From large-scale urban developments to commercial environments shaped by culture and strategy, Theo offers a pragmatic and globally informed perspective on how places are created—not just designed.
In the full interview, we discuss commercial real estate in Asia, the role of “urban mythology,” and the real challenges of implementing global placemaking strategies in Japan.
