How to enjoy - the "town development of Shibuya" as their own events

In book five volumes of "Doraemon", or you know you to appeared intended to become "traffic control timer (traffic control timer)"?

Against Nobita that "I want to roller skate on the street", Doraemon has to be put out was "a tool that will be prevented from entering the car on the road." Stopped the car of the flow in the tool, Giant is a painting on the street, shin husband run a radio-controlled car, "while basking in the sun in the middle of the once road, I wanted to try reading a book," Shizuka-chan out a chair and diligently reading, talk about that.

Do not say I could do that, and the thought was that I wonder is not than some people there.
In such a scene is October 23 (Sunday), it had been implemented in Shibuya.

One of the program of "Shibuya Music Festival", "Street Furniture (street furniture) @ Shibuya Music Festival 2016". Under the theme of "furniture to enjoy the music in Shibuya of Dogenzaka", it is planned that the architects and designers who we fabricate the work with the image.
Dogenzaka jazz flows. Enjoy the music sitting on the unique chair in there, the figure of children and adults to relax .... But about what these are I think is the intuitive "interesting!", I originally ignorant art. Out how to interpret, how do you thing I should enjoy, I asked in fact the person who made.

■ street furniture 01 "sky peep bench"While the construction preparation also curious children.

First, there is a wide veranda seating surface of the artificial turf, this work you have put a mirror in the center. Though it is furniture, such as people there is a lake in the middle of the green of the park they are relaxing around the. Medium and has become the mating mirror looks into, all the time the Earth on the other side of the Then we look likely is fun to Rio de Janeiro.

The production intent of the creator "What some furniture in the common house. But believe that just because the outside, was to furniture weather the changing can enjoy this time," said the thing. I myself Speaking of which, it is often walk is flowed to the crowd in Shibuya, to see slowly the sky of Shibuya has been noticed Naa not much.

■ street furniture 02 "of color cone table" In addition there was next to it is, a simple table that ride to the ones that broke little bit of cardboard to color cone! ! Since the rice to the cardboard is printed, it seems when the previous whiff of corn comes out of "Hinomaru Bento". There are many versions to the other, usually it has a nuisance treats are often color corn had issued a feeling of a nice presence.

■ street furniture 03 "map model to sit."
This is object that expresses cut the terrain of Shibuya. Respectively plant is put in place of "building to have the impression you are making a Shibuya" such as SHIBUYA109, where it is developing now are paved artificial turf. Says creator, it seems to put the message of how Shibuya of the can change the future on the part of the artificial turf. Since this chair since the see an object, when I look at the "I sat down." What seems's chair.
It was a chair in which I felt a double immoral feeling of sitting on what I thought was an exhibit, and also in the city. (The tall building on the right is Shibuya Hikarie )

■ street furniture 04 "furniture to find a" chair of ""When looking at while I think Na there is a lot of furniture, suddenly it was attached to the eye, such as the bed with comics and caster, those commonly found in everyday street. "For example, this also works?!" To me confused and, creators that of the "experiment of whether to recognize as a place to sit down from where the people". Certainly to sit directly on the road there is a resistance, but, or was somehow calm and lay under the ass magazine. In my sense, the ground is I'm somewhat dirty likely to have been stepped on by a foot everyday, and I wonder if that may, if there is something that has not been stepped on everyday.
As you observed, popular Nanoha to children "dolly", it was "beer case" is to adults. (But a child is likely sat in calm even if nothing). Although usually a note that says "Please do not ○○", the positive message to the contrary as "Please Sitting your free" was written was impressive.

Who are gimmick?

Such Who comes in the mood or are doing in what purpose I.
The working is "starting from the citizens, the new town development program seems to Shibuya" to promote, voluntary organization "Shibuya Hack Project (Shibuya hack project)". The same organization that aims to build a "Shibuya of liven up the whole city," the platform, enterprises and government to the Shibuya based in, NPO, along with the shopping center, while leveraging the mono-space area that Shibuya has, creative pilot He told me that he has managed a project on an ongoing basis. This time of the Street Furniture also Toka I 1 tuna of its activities.

Once referred to as the "urban development" in the government and large companies do approach, what many people feel in words with a far distance from their own. But with respect to town planning, and personal thoughts are well reflected, I felt more individuals may live in the city, livable city, and Do not probably going to become a cozy town. Originally in Shibuya, people and, highly specialized people with the intention that you want involved in Shibuya, creative individuals have gathered a lot. And Shibuya this only as can be seen from it is a city of diversity, a city that has a tolerance to allow a new approach. Activities ambitious creators is, in a place called Shibuya, to feel that saw the example that begins to work well as a "town planning", the future of Shibuya has become fun.
