* UIA2011 TOKYO Youth Jamboree entries being accepted!

The UIA2011 TOKYO Japan Organizing Board (JOB) has announced that entries for the UIA2011 TOKYO Youth Jamboree are now being accepted. This is an international workshop focused on students of architecture and young architects will be held in Tokyo from September 22 through 29, 2011.

Theme: KIZUNA - agenda of Tokyo beyond 3.11 - The enormous damage of the devastating earthquake disproved the confidence in architecture and infrastructure in Japan. While compared with the area which suffered the direct onslaught of the earthquake disaster, the damage to the capital city, Tokyo, might only be slight, now, it must be time to ask ourselves again, how architecture can prepare, resist, and make the future assuming the earthquake in Tokyo. Learning from 3.11, we hope to investigate and explore the new possibilities of architecture for the future with participants from all over the world.
