co+labo radović      co+labo organises a Meijo-Sano lecture in Theories of Architecture                                           

Following our tradition of collaboration with excellent Japanese architects of younger generation, on Tuesday 27 October co+labo  is organising first in the series of Theory of Architecture and Urban Design guest lectures in semester 2 2015. In their, by now regular, appearance in System Design, Sano Satoshi (EUREKA) and Meijo Toshiki (Kengo Kuma Architecture Associates) speak about their own work and comment on a number of broader architectural and urban themes.

On 26 October, playful co+labo's Pavilion will be innaugurated and offered for fun to the visitors of Hiyoshi Autumn Festival. If you happen to be near Hiyoshi, please, come along and join co+labo's team, the winner at the Keio University HAPP Competition 2015 in this modest celebration. All co+labo projects are 100% designed by students.

co+labo team having been shortlisted to the top eight at the International Urban Planning Competition for Miyajimaguchi Area, co+labo has achieved one of its biggest successes. The competition, which focused at the future of Miyamiguchi, the community which connects the UNESCO Heritage Site of Itsukushima Shrine with the rest of Japan and the World, attracted more than 1,000 applicants, 230 of which have submitted their projects and managed to satisfy the competition requirements. The panel of experts, including Kakayuki Kishii, Tadao Ando and Mikako Ishikawa, has shortlisted eight projects, one of which was our proposal. As always, co+labo work was completed entirely by students. That is important to remember because this was not a student competition, but an international professional contest, in which young co+labo competed with some of the top expert teams.

On 17 October, the public Jury session was held at the Hatsukaichi Town Hall. The three winning schemes are Anetos, Kansai University and Nosigner and Pacific Consultants. Our selection to the top 3% is truly remarkable, especially in educational terms. co+labo, future architects and urbanists, firmly and uncompromisingly presented the potential of radical realism, praxis of eco-urbanity which is rooted in the principles of environmental and cultural responsibility and our strong belief in ethical urbanism, bottom-up approach to thinking, making and living the urban.
