Pocket Parks in Tokyo on NHK World

Travis Woodward

A little story done by NHK about Pocket Parks (tsuji hiroba) in the Ikebukuro area of Tokyo

The newscasting is a little stilted and awkward, but the idea is still interesting.

brilliant. Its a little kitsch but serve as brilliant nodes in those tiny communities

I thought it was cool how they took something like water tanks and made them into something unique to the neighborhood.

Would have been cool to get different architects to work on different projects, much like they did with Koban (police boxes)

I agree - it seems to fall into the small ad-lib/ad-hoc as atelier Bow Wow; intriguing indeed.
