Third day moving my micro office.

Big office small office

My plan for today was to move to Sumida river. On my way there I come across the Obayashi high rise office complex. The slight difference in dimension made me again realize what a small cogwheel in the big machine we are ... | ||

|
Some designer really worked hard on the Obayashi complex,
though nobody seems to appreciate the effort. The well equipped big open
public spaces are mainly patronized by strong wind. I found a wonderful
location to do some work. A kind of private waterfront for my micro office.

Except the wind, and a friendly security guard (visible on the image above), nobody disturbed my waterfront working retreat. Actually the guard showed a slight sense of humor as he left me working after a short inspection of my office, just when he found me there again half an hour later he got a bit nervous, and suggested me to look for a "more comfortable" location.

As I was about to get hungry anyhow I set sail for (this is to be taken literally as it was a very windy day) the next "conbini", a family mart around the corner.

The wind got stronger and stronger, and as I didn't want
to get blown away with my office, I decided to forget about Sumida river
and took a dive into the small alleys of Mukojima, heading for the "Contemporary
Art Factory".
|
 |
On my way I came across several architectural beings that seemed to belong to a similar species with my micro office ... | ||

 |
I was lucky to find a perfect location for my office in front of the "Contemporary Art Factory" | |

For the people who don't know the "Contemporary
Art Factory": it's a very nice Gallery that is reusing a former factory
for rubber goods. For the "Contemporary Art Factory" web site
