Mapping Atami through Pluralistic Cartographies
“Mapping Atami through Pluralistic Cartographies” is a project that collects and assembles fragments documenting the relationships between individuals, their environments, and the city of Atami. It ultimately creates a large, comprehensive map. Participants will reflect on their connection with Atami using provided map fragments, documenting their experiences as subjective maps through an urban game. The assembled map will serve as a catalyst for collectively envisioning an alternative Atami. This dynamic, urban practice offers a visual dialogue that challenges the pluralistic realities of daily life in the city where tourism and local life coexist.
Born in 1995 in Osaka, Takahito Konishi is an architect and design researcher. He completed his MFA in Architecture from Tokyo University of the Arts. He explores modest social changes through architectural and urban practices.
