Urban Typhoon Workshop in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo, June 26-29,2006

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. The workshop itself is a
joyous and participatory takeover of the city.

Registration fee: 10,000 yen (payable upon arrival at workshop)
