Action Plan
 
animator: Raoul Bunschoten
players: Michiyo Kawabe Jason P G Tan Hiroshi Mizoguchi Martin Scharfetter

commuting time is the only "free" time away from home and office. the prototype constructs the space for this time. transit environment. a detour as extended time and extended ground attached to Tokyo's expressways.

branding: "free time - free space - no program - the best excuse for doing nothing is commuting." the way from home to work needs to be promoted differently. the prototype adds space and time to this line from A to B.

 

 

earth:

Tokyo's expressways carry the potential for a major development. the prototype is making parasitical use of the existing structure. the reclaimed ground is folded to construct a continuous surface. several layers of vehicular movement in different speeds allow for according programs. slow - medium - fast.

flow: the prototype is implanted next to Higashi junction. the model performs sucessfully. commuters start to spend more and more time on the way to and from work within the expressway extension. proliferation will eventually transform all of Tokyo's expressways and inspire Yokohama to develop a later version.(pII)

incorporation: a public-private investment cooperation owns the ground. profit program (p.ex.: Guggenheim, Moma, Snowfun, Shell) has to finance a specific percentage of public non-program space such as open park landscapes or meta-town squares.
