Hypercities
"Built on the idea that every past is a place, HyperCities is a digital research and educational platform for exploring, learning about, & interacting with the layered histories of city and global spaces. Developed though collaboration between UCLA & USC, the fundamental idea behind HyperCities is that all stories take place somewhere and sometime; they become meaningful when they interact and intersect with other stories. Using Google Maps & Google Earth, HyperCities essentially allows users to go back in time to create and explore the historical layers of city spaces in an interactive, hypermedia environment.

A HyperCity is a real city overlaid with a rich array of geo-temporal information, ranging from urban cartographies and media representations to family genealogies and the stories of the people and diverse communities who live and lived there. We are currently developing content for: Los Angeles, NYC, Chicago, Rome, Lima, Ollantaytambo, Berlin, Tel Aviv, Tehran, Saigon, Toyko…"

雨の日の宝物 (Rainy day treasures) Print Pamphlet - a set on Flickr
""......These safe and slow pathways are perfect for tiny feet and their larger commute-weary companions. Dense greens and colourful scented collages reside at the height and scale of little eyes and noses. Irrepressible hands thrive on the mixture of gravel, sand, grass, rocks, sticks and fallen fruit that compose Tokyo carpets. In summer developing ears drink in crickets, cicadas and neighbourhood rustlings...."

A small study on the child's perception of the street.

This document traces the everyday treasures of a rainy day walk to the local sento in suburban Tokyo. It is part of a broader and slightly wonky research and practice agenda on the hand made, everyday creativity, play, and usable environments."

In Which We Regularly Play Ping-Pong With The Princess Masako - Home - This Recording
"Every linguistic foible, every longing glance out a cab window at dusk — if my mother doesn't say it, then I feel it. We are in someone's else's movie."

"Being the only Caucasian in a room, you almost feel invisible because you are so visible. When you're in Mexico or someplace, at least they want your paper dollars. But here, we are uncouth, smelly, hairy. We have swine-flu. Our currency is inferior and our history is short. Yet the Japanese also love Sid Vicious, cowboys, birthday cakes, bagels.

It's such a confusing dynamic."

hand-made play » Archive » Understanding the Child-Scale City (Excerpt)
"This document that this excerpt is from is one story of the everyday treasures of a rainy day walk. It is part of a broader and slightly wonky research and practice agenda on the hand made, everyday creativity, play, and usable environments.

What is the child-scale? How can we begin to understand it? How can this experience inform building and design ideas and practice?

Play is intensely important. Start developing an idea of (non)designing for playing. The walk that this extract depicts brought forth ideas of grain/granularity of street surfaces (materials), balance and tracing (paths, curbs), humble events, routine/ritual, liquid (refreshment, ballistics, power)… for a start."

Made Better in Japan - WSJ.com
"For decades, Japan simply imported the wares of foreign cultures, but recession has led to invention. The country has begun creating the finest American denim, French cuisine and Italian espresso in the world. Now is the time to visit."

"During the robust economy of the '80s, Japan's exports ruled, and the country would import the best that money could buy from the rest of the globe, including Italian chefs and French sommeliers. Which made Japan an haute bourgeoisie heaven where luxury manufacturers from the West expected skyrocketing sales forever.

But now 20-plus years of recession have killed that dream. Louis Vuitton sales are plummeting, and magnums of Dom Pérignon are no longer being uncorked at a furious pace. That doesn't mean the Japanese have turned away from the world. They've just started approaching it on their own terms, venturing abroad and returning home with increasingly more international tastes and much higher standards…"

Outside the mainstream | independent project spaces and artist-run initiatives in Japan | culture360.org
"Japan has major contemporary art museums, but also very interesting smaller independent art initiatives and exhibition spaces, which play an important role in the creation of discourse in the field of contemporary art. It is particularly difficult to start and run such initiatives in Japan, usually reliant on the commitment of dedicated individuals. This article aims to give an insight into some of those non-commercial art spaces. How is it to work in such a space? How are they financed? And why do these people put their energy and money into such projects?"

The Fierce Imagination of Haruki Murakami - NYTimes.com
"“I live in Tokyo,” he told me, “a kind of civilized world — like New York or Los Angeles or London or Paris. If you want to find a magical situation, magical things, you have to go deep inside yourself. So that is what I do. People say it’s magic realism — but in the depths of my soul, it’s just realism. Not magical. While I’m writing, it’s very natural, very logical, very realistic and reasonable.”

Murakami insists that, when he’s not writing, he is an absolutely ordinary man — his creativity, he says, is a “black box” to which he has no conscious access. He tends to shy away from the media and is always surprised when a reader wants to shake his hand on the street. He says he much prefers to listen to other people talk — and indeed, he is known as a kind of Studs Terkel in Japan…"

Small Places of Anarchy in the City: Three Investigations in Tokyo | This Big City
“Tokyo, a city of parts where the individual defines the large scale shows the elimination of the hierarchical city, quietly dismissing accumulated forms of power in favour of a situation in which everyone is free to realize their possibilities. Tokyo makes it possible for slim segments of the population to generate their own environments in scattered oases of a vast metroscape. What emerges here is the idea of the city of unimposed order, consisting of communal self-determination on one hand and individual freedom on the other. Here authority is practical, rather than absolute or permanent, and based in communication, negotiation.

Small places of anarchy are zones of human-scale action, attachment and care. They can:

1) Replace state control with regards to an aspect of city life.

2) Take away that aspect from the requirement of majority rule.

3) Promote unimposed order as the style working…"

Miyashita Park by Atelier Bow-Wow | Spoon & Tamago
"Up until very recently, depending on where you were on the spectrum of social politics, Miyashita Park was either a safehaven for those rejected from society, or a neighborhood blight that is breeding ground for trouble.<br />
<br />
But on April 30th a brand new Miyashita Park opened to the public and, despite the same name, it is unrecognizable to anyone who knew it prior to its reincarnation. What used to be home to hundreds of homeless, the blue tarpaulin, cardboard boxes and tents that comprised their dwellings are now nowhere to be seen. What used to feel like a space so far-removed from civilization it felt like a different country, has now, perhaps by force, been integrated into the hip mega-district that is Shibuya. More on that here.<br />
<br />
With funding from Nike and blueprints provided by renowned architects Atelier Bow-Wow, a brand new space for the local community, equipped with everything from skating ramps to rock-climbing walls, has been put in place.…"

Kirai – Un geek en Japón by Héctor García — Torre parecida a Tokio Sky Tree en un grabado de siglo XIX
"En este grabado ukiyo-e de Kuniyoshi Utagawa se puede ver una misteriosa estructura en el horizonte cuya silueta se asemeja misteriosamente a la de la actual Tokyo Sky Tree.<br />
<br />
[Image] Grabado de 1831 creado por Kuniyoshi Utagawa.<br />
<br />
[Image] Aspecto de Tokyo Sky Tree cuando se termine su construcción a finales de este año. Medirá 634 metros siendo la segunda estructura más alta del mundo.<br />
<br />
Varios historiadores creen que la torre del grabado de Kuniyoshi Utagawa no existió en la realidad, fue un añadido creativo producto de la imaginación del artista. Resulta que en aquella época estaba prohibido construir nada que fuera más alto que el castillo de Edo, además, este grabado es la única prueba de la “existencia” de tal torre.<br />
<br />
¿Predijo Kuniyoshi Utagawa la construcción de Tokyo Sky Tree hace casi 200 años?"

The Deal with SNOW Magazine - JeanSnow.net
"I’m just not particularly inspired by the creative output of this country these days. This feeling has been growing over the past year, and although I’ve constantly tried to explain it as “just me,” thinking that I’d just been here for too long and that my constant focus on this particularly topic had maybe burned me out on it — and hey, that may really be the case — I do feel like there’s a serious lack of exciting development happening here. That’s not to say there aren’t some amazing creators doing some amazing things, but it’s no longer enough for me to want to base the entirety of my writings on — especially the kind that I do on my own time."

pass the baton tokyo vintage shop
"pass the baton - this vintage shop promotes a new idea of recycling : pass on things that you truly love. the idea is that if an object is used and not needed anymore, people can pass it along without making new goods<br />
(and potential waste). so that each new owner can create their own new memories. 'pass the baton' is a new personal culture marketplace in japan, a country where the idea of buying used items is not really appreciated. this could change quickly, the bricks-and-mortar flagship store in the center of tokyo offers buyers and sellers a fashionable forum for exchange. as a member of the 'pass the baton' initiative, people can sell as simply as one would at a flea market, but with the added dimension of optioning proceeds to charity. 50% of the proceedings are distributed to the seller. the seller will then contribute a part or all of proceeds to one of several social action groups through the non-profit organization charity platform (NPO)."

Hitotoki — About [Nice touce in the Design Notes—see the quote below. Click through for (small) images.]
"The Hitotoki logo is composed of four hankos, traditional Japanese personal stamps. Each was carved in stone by Eiko Nagase, kissed, inked, and pressed to tissue paper, resulting in what you see above.

The hankos can be seen as city blocks, the space between them the little pockets we carve out for ourselves. Each hanko silloutte is an abstracted katakana character cor­responding with the inlaid roman script. hitoOur 435-page identity style guide allows for creative re-positioning of the blocks to fit the logo into different layout contexts. Sadly, the application of the “Bevel and Emboss” filter is strictly prohibited."

Others hear the talk of change, clutch their hardcovers and shrug it off as a bunch of hype: the pre- not worth worrying about it era. Whatever we consider this pre- era to be, it’s undeniably post- many things that defined publishing until about ten years ago. It’s post- having to bend to big distributors. It’s post- ignoring the screen as a viable reading space. And we’re rapidly closing in on post- printing mass-market throwaway books (they’ll work great digitally)."

Japan still matters « Snarkmarket
Comment from ec: "The funny thing is that a trip to Tokyo will make you a Japanophile, but not in the way that you imag­ine. Instead of going tech / futur­is­tic design crazy, you will lose your­self in a book­store look­ing at graphic design mags that have that global min­i­mal­is­tic look. You will feast not only on ramen, but you’ll love French pas­tries, as inter­preted by the Japan­ese, and clothing-wise, you might be drawn to the abun­dance of care­fully curated clas­sics from dif­fer­ent sub-cultures (a store devoted to the 1960s Eng­lish Road biker look? A line of Colum­bia out­door wear only sold in Japan, with a slim­mer cut, and richer fab­ric?) Every­thing famil­iar, through a bizarro lens, but a good bizarro. This is the stuff that’s imported to Amer­ica in only small batches."

"For sci-fi author William Gibson, Japan has been a lifelong inspiration. Here, the writer who coined the phrase 'cyberspace', explains why no other country comes closer to the future... or makes better toothpaste" ... "Why Japan, then? Because they live in the future, but neither yours nor mine, and somehow make it seem either interesting or comical or really interestingly dreadful. Because they are capable of naming an après-sport drink Your Water. Because they build museum-grade reproductions of the MA-1 flight jacket that require prospective owners to be on waiting lists for several years before one even has a chance of possibly, one day, owning the jacket. Because they can say to you, with absolute seriousness, believing that it means something, 'I like your lifestyle!'"

click opera - Tokyo, let me count the ways!
"But if I love Tokyo it's the surrounding context - the thing producing events & encounters like these - that deserves the credit. You really only sense something as abstract as a context interstitially, in slipping glimpses as you scurry from appointment to appointment. & yet these glimpses contain the magic that fuels the city, & your love for it. So here's a paragraph of those glimpses, so frail, so fragmentary & yet so forceful. The tiling in the Citibank lobby on Aoyama Dori. The wooden mailboxes outside Utrecht. A transparently delicate schoolgirl reading a book on the stairs at Ebisu subway station...The sense of complete safety; I can wear the most ridiculous clothes w/out fear of embarrassment or assault. Never having to worry about prying hands near my wallet, even in the densest crowd. A sense of being, if not in the future, at least in a parallel world where people are quite a bit more refined, well-mannered & intelligent than I'm used to. A pervading calm inhibition..."

click opera - Absent without leaving
"the Japanese are more discreet, & minimise themselves more politely & considerately than anyone else...Even their houses seem to avert their gaze; you can pass down a heavily-built Tokyo street with the sense of being completely unobserved, thanks to the frosted glass in the windows, just as you can sit in a crowded train carriage and not find a single eye meeting yours. It can feel uncanny at times, like being an invisible man. Most of the time it's very reassuring, though. You soon miss it in other cities. Adjectives I'd use to describe this minimised public presence: discreet, considerate, polite, apologetic, cold, withdrawn, inward, socialised, repressed. & there we begin to hit on an interesting paradox: you withdraw into yourself in the interests of the collectivity. Your absence is highly social, even when it resembles a semi-autistic withdrawal. You turn inward to facilitate outward smoothness. You make yourself ghostlike out of courtesy to other people, who do the same."

Architecture - Kisho Kurokawa’s Future Vision, Banished to Past - NYTimes.com [video here: http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/9/view/6972/kurokawas-capsule-tower-demolition.html]
"Founded by a loose-knit group of architects at end of 50s, Metabolist movement sought to create flexible urban models for a rapidly changing society. Floating cities. Cities inspired by oil platforms. Buildings that resembled strands of DNA. Such proposals reflected Japan’s transformation from a rural to modern society...also reflected more universal trends, like social dislocation & fragmentation of traditional family, influencing generations of architects from London to Moscow...project’s lasting importance has more to do with structural innovations & how they reflect Metabolists’ views on evolution of cities. Each of the concrete capsules was assembled in a factory, including details like carpeting & bathroom fixtures...then shipped to site & bolted, one by one, onto concrete & steel cores that housed building’s elevators, stairs & mechanical systems...became a symbol of Japan’s technological ambitions, as well as of the increasingly nomadic existence of the white-collar worker."

‘Tokyo!,’ a Film by 3 Directors - Bong Joon-ho, Leos Carax and Michel Gondry - NYTimes.com
"The masterpiece of that interpretive mode remains “Sans Soleil,” the unclassifiable 1982 film by the French cine-essayist Chris Marker. This free-associative travelogue combines globe-trotting images (presented as the film shot by a peripatetic cinematographer) with wide-ranging philosophical ruminations on the nature of memory and the recorded image...The film roams from Iceland to Guinea-Bissau but mostly lingers in and around Tokyo, which inspires its richest reflections. Haunting the city’s animist shrines and underground malls, seeking out its hidden rhythms and connections, Mr. Marker undertakes an urban expedition worthy of a Borges or Calvino story. He imagines the trains that crisscross Tokyo acting as repositories for the dreams of its dozing passengers, the entire city taking shape as the projection of its citizens’ “giant collective dream.”

PingMag - Nakagin Capsule Tower: Architecture of the Future
"Kurokawa observed that throughout Japanese history, frequent natural disasters...meant that Japanese cities built from natural materials had temporary, even unpredictable lifespans. Kurokawa therefore wanted to continue that tradition of temporality in building design by constructing modern but changeable buildings...heavily influenced by Metabolism. Hidaka operates the Slowmedia Japanese architecture forum...Metabolist ideas of the 1960s “were very new, they saw cities as ‘moving’ and dynamic, that concept is real. Metabolism wanted to collaborate with engineers, they invited scientists, designers, and industrial designers. They wanted trans-cultural collaborations. It’s still relevant because of the ‘dynamic city’ and trans-cultural aspects. I want these collaborations to continue.”... The capsules around the central beam were intended to be replaceable, in line with the Metabolist philosophy of interchangeability. But the capsules haven’t been replaced..."

Architect Aoki's Office Wins Good Design Award - BusinessWeek
"I'm more interested in designs that might at first glance seem orthodox but in fact reflect an unusual or innovative take on something that already exists." ... "create a space that would be as close to a blank slate as possible...tenants would have greater freedom to customize the space as they saw fit" ... "The building's most distinctive characteristic, though, is its windows. They are all perfect squares, but are cut to seven different sizes. Adding to their motley appearance: Some of the glass panes are nearly flush with the outer wall while others aren't. Aoki and his staff made nearly 100 patterns from paper cutouts before settling on one they liked. The deciding factor: Its resemblance to things found in nature. "For example, a tree's leaves initially look similar, but if you line them up they're actually very different," says Aoki."

PingMag - Tokyo Topographies
"When Hajime Ichikawa isn’t working as a landscape architect in Akasaka, he follows his passion for Tokyo’s topography. Sometimes you’ll find him developing concepts for a future city in an altered landscape (think of the rising sea levels) for the Fibre City project, and other times he’ll be depicting Tokyo in all kinds of visualisations: He calls himself a map evangelist and GPS is just one of his tools. Hajime spoke to PingMag about his unique interests."

Putting people first » Eataly launching in Tokyo and New York
"Eataly, the very successful “slow” and experiential supermarket in Turin, Italy, is now opening branches in Tokyo and New York. According to the La Repubblica newspaper, Eataly will inaugurate its first foreign branch on 26 September in Tokyo’s Daikanyama neighbourhood. The two-floor, 1500 m2 shop will feature a sales area (including a bakery, pastry shop, ice cream angle and coffee shop), a restaurant area (with zones devoted to pasta, salami/cheese, and vegetables), and — typically, Slow Food — an educational zone for courses on food culture, meetings with chefs, cooking lessons, and wine and food tastings. On sale will be both Japanese products (to value the “short supply chain”) and Italian products, primarily coming from the Piedmont and Liguria regions. Eataly Tokyo will be open from 8 in the morning until midnight, and have a staff of about 100. The New York branch is currently set to open in December."
