Sumidagawa River
Jun. 9
How do we revive the banks of the Sumidagawa River, once a
thriving and vibrant center of everyday life during the Edo Period?
We focused our presentation on four elements representative of the
Sumidagawa River and created conceptual drawings using present
day images. Our special guest Mr. Hidenobu Jinnai appealed to
the reality of the proposal content, stating that unlike the river
embankments planned in European cities, like Paris or London, a
softer approach should betaken to protect the banks of the
Sumidagawa River.
Underground
May. 20
We want the underground in the year 2050 to be a place to shock
the senses! From this image we proposed new underground
spaces based on four different concepts: connect with the city, flow
of time, breathing nature, and enjoying darkness. During the talk
session we discussed how in the past detailed cave drawing were
created in dark caves. From there, the talk enthusiastically pounded
the necessity for an absence of light and now is the time to trigger
our innate capacity to enjoy faint light and darkness.
