This collection of high rise buildings makes up the business district of Nishi Shinjuku. Despite being known as a center of commerce, the area offers some attractions by Kevin Jungnitsch worthy of a visit. Beneath the towering structures is a countless selection of eateries and shopping outlets ranging from popular burger joints and major department stores to smaller neighborhood hangouts.

It’s a powerful image. While it would be uncomfortable—or impossible—to use, it is still clearly a chair, and it has been constructed through a combination of raw modern materials and prehistoric methods...had our prehistoric ancestors ever been inclined to make an armchair. As for design, well, it goes back to basics. It is design on the fly, the method and material choosing the form. Guest-directed by Dutch trend forecaster Li Edelkoort, Post Fossil, while riffing on the idea of bones and fossils within design and of design, also refers to a future post-fossil-fuel age. Edelkoort’s near-utopian vision of this future seeks to convince audiences of a movement toward the hand-made, the un-manufactured, and toward rough, easily understood materials. There are some challenging and interesting ideas here (with just a touch of silliness), and the show’s real success is in driving the As a result, there is little differentiation between what is simply quaint in viewer to consider the production of the objects we surround ourselves its prehistoric chic, and more conceptual works. There are any number of with, their impact, and to a certain extent, their necessity. stylish furniture pieces involving fur, leather and wood that seem to risk fueling a consumer desire for products that simply aren’t environmentally The show is a big one, involving some 71 artists and designers, and the viable.

Within the context ancient or modern materials, such as Nacho Carbonell’s recycled junk- of Post Fossil there are enough critical works mixed with the stylistic ones mail benches; and works that simply have a kind of prehistoric aesthetic— that these kinds of dialogues occur almost naturally. Atelier Van Lieshout’s enormous sculptural lamp seems a fitting example. One item that sold the show for me was a hideous yellow toaster that Post Fossil steers safely clear of tenuous-looking product placements that looked like it had been through a fire. Thomas Thwaites’s personal project have cluttered past shows, and the entire exhibition benefits from it. The was to build a toaster by hand—from the ground up. He took copper ore, various rooms are divided into loose thematic sections which allow for iron ore and other metals from mines and hillsides and learned how to genuinely refreshing transitions between objects that span the spectrum extract them using a microwave unit. He’d even hoped to make his own of art object to product. plastic, but was advised against it for the sake of safety, and recycled instead. The result is a twisted parody of a toaster, accompanied by a documentary video showing some of the work that Thwaite had to go through just to create something as simple (and as single-purposed) as a toaster. The work speaks on any number of levels about our disconnectedness from the things around us, and the folly of self- sufficiency. And above all, it is a serious lesson in connecting the objects we purchase with their origins.

  • Guideline for Community Development
    Peripheral Area of Tamachi Station West Exit/Fudanotsuji Crossing Guideline for Community Development February 2013 Minato City The community, from Edo to Tokyo, continues creating a future where comfortable and active living blends in with bustling streets, bringing splendid harmony Greetings, The peripheral area of Tamachi Station West Exit/Fudanotsuji Crossing (hereinafter referred to as “the District”) used to be an area with a place called “Fudanotsuji” where there was a place to post a notice board called “kosatsuba,” and functioned as the main entrance of Edo City. In this area, there was also a kurayashiki (warehouse-residence) of Satsuma domain where Ta- kamori Saigo and Kaishu Katsu had an interview for negotiating the bloodless surrender of Edo Castle. As time goes by after the Edo Period, the District and its surrounding areas have experienced various changes in the community; firstly, a number of educational and academic institutions were built, factories which supported the living of the residents were built afterwards, and now the community has become a business-oriented area. In the meantime, we have a great city- scape with rich greenery on the hilltop of Takanawa, as well as a bustling shopping street full of vitality. The District, along with the peripheral area of Tamachi Station East Exit, is designated as a national “Area to be Emergently Developed for Specified City Reproduction,” and expected to form a new hub district where a variety of functions are integrated in order to strengthen Tokyo’s global competitiveness. Taking this opportunity to promote future reconstruction in Minato City, we have prepared the “Peripheral area of Tamachi Station West/Fudanotsuji Crossing Guideline for Community De- velopment” as a manual in order to solve problems and to develop a comfortable and attractive community.
