• シェア

Three colorful containers suddenly appeared on the promenade along the Shibuya River, what on earth is this?

Is it an art space? Is it a food space that sells lunchboxes and drinks?

Actually, this container seems to be the base of social experiment project called "WORK PARK PACK (work park pack)". Although social experiments may sound a little difficult, the aim is to revitalize the newly born promenade along the Shibuya River. In the future, in order to make good use of the boardwalk, "trying what to do" is an attempt to experiment variously at this place while everyone participates ideas.

▲ " SHIBUYA STREAM " and "Promenade along Shibuya River" were born in September 2018 (image provision = SHIBUYA STREAM )

In the first place, this promenade is accompanied by the redevelopment of "Shibuya Minami Avenue Ward", in addition to the construction of " SHIBUYA STREAM " in September of last year, a space of about 600 meters which connects Shibuya and Daikanyama area along the Shibuya River along with public and private cooperation is newly developed It was born. In December of last year, the new name "Shibuya River Street" was decided by the public offering, and great expectation is given to the creation of "bustle" and "good waterside space" in the Shibunami area centering on the promenade There.

Therefore, in this social experiment project, three large containers called "PARK PACK" were installed on the promenade just across the 100 Banch near the Yawata Bridge in Shibuya River in order to carry out the "value creation of the boardwalk". In the future, based on this container, we are experimenting with the "idea of utilization of public space" unique to the promenade along the Shibuya River while seeking "ideas that I would like to try in the boardwalk (public space)" from people working in Shibuya and those who live We will verify it.

Mr. Seiichi Saito of Raizo Matix who is in charge of planning and production of "WORK PARK PACK" says, "Because the container has all the tools such as tables, chairs and monitors in the container, in addition to workshops and talk events, even pot party I think that various things can be done at a drinking party, at an e sports competition, etc. "I will reveal the aim," I would like you to find out new possibilities in public space "as a trigger.

▲ Before the project was held, a social gathering of 'Mizuba Ring Forum' was held on February 28. "I would like to conduct various events utilizing the public space in the future"

▲ "Kotatsu" appeared on the boardwalk on March 1 and 2 as part of "Shibusan Cherry Blossom Festival" and people crowded with people who enjoy foods and drinks purchased at kitchen cars. It can be said to be a unique precedent case of using the boardwalk

Furthermore, "Planning to install cameras in containers and analyze human flows" and plan, "I think that the layers that use the boardwalk are different for different time zones, so if you are in a less busy time zone, you make it a children's playground, or a lunch refugee salaried worker If there are a lot of benches, you can set up a bench ... ... "and so on, looking at the analysis results will expand the expectation of thinking about appropriate methods of utilization.

Project activity period is from March 1 to May 6. During the month from March 1st to March 31st, the staff of Shibuya Mirai Design resides in the container, and in addition to opening a window to accept 'Idea to be realized at Shibuya River Street', 'Shibuya River' WORK PARK PACK "etc will be displayed. From April onwards, it will be realized one by one from among the ideas gathered.

Mr. Taichi Goto of Shibuya Mirai Design says, "Shibuya Mirai Design wants to make a landscape, Ellimane if Ellimane is ahead, if region you want to use the region (a promenade) with a wonderful idea First I want to be the entrance. Whether it's a shop or a pot party ... If you want something to do something over there, please come here and talk to us, how we can shape it, how we can make it self-propelled, I think that it is our job. "

Recently, with the redevelopment of large scale in central Tokyo, public spaces (public spaces) are being created one after another in various places in Tokyo. By establishing new plazas and parks, there will be many people who think that people will gather there and create bustle. However, in reality, for various needs such as "I want to play on the street and performance," "I want to play the ball," "I want to do a skateboard," "I want to do a flea market", "Do not do that, do it There is nothing surprisingly the regulation of "no good", there are not a few cases where the use is abandoned. Management and regulations that make use of it are required to be relaxed.

If the "WORK PARK PACK" project eliminates waste as much as possible and it is a place where you can realize what you have been giving up until now, "It's a public space", it might be a very interesting effort. Hopes for future moves will be gathered to see what ideas and case studies are born from here.

The recruitment period of utilization ideas for the boardwalk is until March 31. People with something unique idea, please do come and see. Container open time is 11 to 18 o'clock (until 31st March).
