Bartlett Kiosk: Disaster-Resistant City

Disaster-Resistant City

Disaster-Resistant City confronts the changing environment through negotiating small tilts and big shifts, shocks caused by abrupt changes in nature or culture, and questioning how everyday spaces and urban landscapes can adapt to accommodate environmental uncertainty.

The model focusses on the metropolis of Tokyo, which has undergone a number of changes to withstand potential environmental impacts over the years. Searching beyond the pragmatic, Disaster-Resistant City interprets the notion of “shocks” and the “environment” from a cultural perspective, by going on a journey through Japan’s traditional and contemporary narratives, binding age-old techniques and materials with new technological inventions and stitching into the rhythmic tempo of the city.

This work was undertaken by undergraduate Unit 6.
