Tokyo2050//12 Visions for the Metropolis
Introduction
In response to“ DESIGN 2050,” the banner theme of the 24th World Architecture Congress, the“ Tokyo2050//12 Visions for the Metropolis” exhibit will present visions by twelve teams of university laboratories of architecture and urban design in the Tokyo Metropolitan Region, representing the future of Tokyo as a new metropolis, or as a “model” Asian metropolis.
With populations increasingly concentrating in the urban areas of the world, strategies for the future of the city are of vital importance. However, in Japan, government, researchers and experts have shown no real commitment to this issue, with perhaps the only exception being the“ Tokyo Plan” published by architect Kenzo Tange in 1960. The 2011 UIA World Architecture Congress provides experts with the opportunity to propose - by means of plans, models, computer graphics, etc.- relevant visions for the future of Tokyo which are very different from those that were conceived during the era of highspeed growth in Japan.
The exhibit, “Tokyo 2050//12 Visions for the Metropolis,” including the “Le Grand Pari(s)” exhibition, will take a global perspective on new visions of the 21st Century metropolis through a comparison of plans for Tokyo and Paris, allowing urban designers to create their own visions in three dimensions on the canvas of a metropolis from a broadened perspective wider than design of physical urban areas, up to creation of urban culture.
