Francois Roche gave a 3-day workshop titled, Schizoid 2.0/ BOTTOMup[Vs]TOPdown
The workshop brief states as ‘The Workshop on several days at Tokyo University
will be the occasion to re‐question two processes of urbanism,
of politic, as a Chimera between;
1. One from a top down management,
where everything is previously anticipated and controlled, in terms of master
planning and design…
2. The other one which
integrates a degree of tolerance, of loophole, in terms of individual and collective
strategy of urban mutation and self‐organization.
The purpose is to develop a schizoid urban
structure in an emerging city (BKK, Sao Paulo, Ho‐Chi‐Minh,…even
in Japan if a location is able to fit with the research) which extracts its
logic, morphologies and uses, from the recognition of this schizoid dimension.'
