To launch c/o Tokyo, the Canadian Centre for Architecture commissioned a multi-part documentary on the posturban phenomenon in Japan.

Résumé:

Since building a small museum on the island of Omishima in 2011, Toyo Ito has been traveling regularly to the remote community to work on various renovation projects that address the area's aging and shrinking population. In this video, the architect explains his fascination with the island as a space for work sheltered from the market pressures of the city, the possibilities of the non-urban as a testing ground for new ways of life, and his shift towards participatory practices as a result of his experiences on the island.
