(1) Redesigning Tokyo
===============================================================

Vol. 2: Baba Masataka (R-project)

The actual "Tokyo Keikaku" was designed in 1960, when Kisho
Kurokawa and other leading contemporary Japanese architects
around grand maestro and central player in the planning game,
Tange Kenzo, still belonged to the young generation. The concept
under a "let's all rebuild Japan" kind of slogan was to metabolize
metropolitan Tokyo by erecting huge buildings on earth fillings in
Tokyo Bay. Now, 40 years later, the renovation process seems to be
completed, and I thought that now it's the turn of our generation
of town planners to see what we can do. The R-Project is our
platform for this.

(2) Event Pick of the Week
===============================================================

Hasta Siempre -- The Road to Che Guevara

Commemorating the start of the movie "The Motorcycle Diaries",
a handful of artists gather for a precious lesson on the
consumeristic fuss about "pop icon" Che Guevara, a figure young
people today probably know only as a face on hip T-shirts. It
will however be an entertaining affair, which mainly two facts
guarantee: the party takes place at a Cuban cafe, and RT
contributor Fujikawa Papa-Q participates as DJ. Live music
performances round off this exciting event I warmly recommend.
