We had a few days in Tokyo to wander around and have fun. One of our first stops was to Wakamatsu electronics store in Akihabara which featured a big section of Arduino related goodness. Check out a video from the 4th floor..



Plus, no trip to Japan would be complete without some media of random things we saw..



And a visit to a famous street crossing…

James and I had the pleasure of speaking at the HIGH5 Creative Conference located in the beautiful Yokohama Osanbashi Hall designed by FOA



The conference theme was loosely based on using the Galapagos islands as a metaphor for a new type of thinking about interdisciplinary design. We choose to present the work of the LAB through the questions we ask ourselves when designing transformable spaces. You can learn more about the conference here on the Hitspaper write-up.

We would like to thank Arata Sasaki, Takashi Hawada, and Hiro for the wonderful hospitality, thoughtful discussion, and excellent Tofu! Also see the cool peapod that the Balloon artist made at dinner…



A little while back Hitspaper asked to interview us for their online magazine. You can read the interview here.
