Studio Ram Katzir

Grand Green Osaka is a landmark development project in Umekita Park, facing Osaka Station. It harmoniously integrates lush green spaces with urban environments.

VS. (Visionary Station), designed by acclaimed architect Tadao Ando, promises visitors a distinctive encounter with new art and technology. As a native of Osaka, Mr. Ando views the Umekita Project as a legacy of pride for upcoming generations.

Ram Katzir has crafted a site-specific sculpture for this iconic venue, drawing inspiration from studies of Osaka residents.

The immersive installation Tracing Future has been completed in Taipei. This artwork invites visitors to contemplate their life and actions ‘here and now,’ inspiring new directions and actions. The hand, depicted as a topographical map, outlines a personal path in life.

Visitors to the Guanci Social Housing complex step into a massive line drawing of a hand tracing the lifeline of another. From above, it appears the building has grown hands, rewriting its narrative. This project aims to promote social and urban reform in Taipei’s financial and political hub.
