FUTURE-LABO





What is Future Labo?






ABOUT
フューチャーラボとは?



FUTURE LABO is where victims from the Great East Japan Earthquake and different creators from inside and outside Japan do research, discuss and have workshops together. This five-year program makes people reconsider on nature and one's life while offering a place to study suggestions on future foundations.
By having different projects in various areas, they connect, cooperate and share the same problems together; drawing others into the vortex of reconstruction which spreads their challenge throughout Japan and the world.










PROJECT
Activities



To link people together
This year's first session of Eastern Japan Reconstruction starts off with the theme of "From Communication Design to Community Design."
Moving around Tohoku is basically done by Ichiro Endo's car. After the Great Earthquake, each of the affected areas conducted their own reconstruction activities, with creators getting involved and facing the huge questions raised by this huge natural disaster. This is a project to connect such activities and questions in a compound way.
