Casagrande & RintalaWe were invited to Obihiro in Hokkaido, Japan to run a workshop for
urban planners and city architects. We asked them to bring their
children in a local school gym and prepare some paint and cardboad.In
the gym we told the children that now you are the architects and your
mothers and fathers are just cheap labor - you tell them what to do and
they have to obey. Just do a good house. The size must be big enough
for you to fit in.In the end we took the houses to the Obihiro
streets for a walk as a walking street. Sometimes the children would
need a rest and an instant village took place. This was humane and
accidential. The urbanism was great.
