Permeate shared culture in Japan by setting up insulated tiny houses in two hundred public spaces within the city of Tokyo
With a large gap between private and public, the city space is adrift with these two sectors remaining passive unto themselves. In order to make the city connect more seamlessly, insulated tiny houses will be set up in two hundred public spaces within Tokyo. These tiny houses, which are quite cool even in summer, will be serving as information centers, guide stations, wheelchair stations, or presentation rooms for nations participating in the biennale. Moreover, this will become an opportunity for sharing to take root in Japan.
