Sixth day moving my micro office.

Today me and my office are going to Kyojima, a neighborhood neighboring Mukojima. Some parts of Kyojima have somehow managed to survive the bombardments of the second world war, and the redevelopment rush of the bubble era during the eighties. There are still clusters of "Nagaya" (a kind of row house for the poor) that date back to before the war. I guess for the Tokyo government this quarter is an embarrassing place that it would like to get rid of a.s.a.p. I'd rather see it as an fascinating model for the future of high density urban residential areas. | |

The old wood facades are now covered with blue tinplates
to protect them from fires, and my acrylic blue micro office seems to
be a member of the family ...

We find a wonderful location on a vacant lot directly beside the wood barracks. | |

Today micro office is a hybrid building as it serves a variety of functions ... for example: being a kindergarten for Su Kaia, my daughter.

|
Considering proportion and dimension, I thought a "micro
kindergarten" might actually be more appropriate then a micro office
...

... No, it actually didn't become a Karaoke box, even though the image above might suggest this usage ... , but for the next micro project this might be a rather profitable idea ... | |

Also today I had some visitors. As soon as they saw my digicam they thought my micro office could as well work as a "Purikura" machine.
I couldn't offer colorful stickers, but at least presence on the net ... |
.
|
Again I didn't really find the time to work as frequent visitors kept me entertained ... |
 |

 |
Just after it got dark and Kyojima's village qualities prevailed, I found the time to concentrate on some minor important things like this home page ... | |
