Urban Typhoon Workshop in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo, June 26-29,2006
http://www.urbantyphoon.com info at 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. The workshop
itself is a joyous and participatory takeover of the city.

Registration deadline: May 31, 2006
Registration fee: 10,000 yen (payable upon arrival at workshop)
