Theatrical architecture creating new urban encounters<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This theatrical project set up \u201cevacuation points\u201d at locations around the 29 stations of the JR Yamanote Line, designed to create unique encounters between participants and the city of Tokyo. Participants first visited the project website, where they answered a series of questions. According to their answers, they were designated a certain location near a Yamanote Line station. The participant then downloaded a map to get there and went to visit the site. There they discovered various communities, from religious facilities to collective and shared housing, homeless people, and even so-called \u201cencounter caf\u00e9s\u201d where men pay to meet women. The project reimagined the circular Yamanote Line as a \u201cTokyo clock\u201d, curating locations around the city as places to evacuate from \u201cTokyo time\u201d. The participants became temporary evacuees, constructing new relationships with the city as they explored unknown areas.<\/p>\n
