<nettime-ann> [event] [Tokyo] Urban Typhoon Workshop |
. Urban Typhoon Workshop in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo, June 26-29,2006 http://www.urbantyphoon.com info@urbantyphoon.com We invite creative spirits from Japan and abroad to brainstorm on the present and future of Shimokitazawa, at a time when the government is planning a 26 meter-wide road cutting through its culturally vibrant streets. The Urban Typhoon workshop is a global experiment in participatory design, and includes architecture & design studios, art installations, political cafe, oral history, graphic communication, video, etc. The objective is to produce alternatives to the government's plan as well as a multimedia testimony to the unique spirit of Shimokitazawa.
