Urban Futures is an umbrella term encapsulating a number of events organised by Index Architecture and hosted and supported by RMIT University and Tokyo Institute of Technology. The aim is to develop innovative strategies and models for considering contemporary issues of densification, efficiency and sustainability in the urban spaces of post-industrial cities.

Tokyoism is a collection of architectural design studios in RMIT University’s Master of Architecture programme, led by Edmund Carter and John Doyle, practitioners at Index Architecture. You can find out more about the preliminary intent of this studio, and work on this website reflects its ongoing evolution.
A two week architectural design workshop focussing on strategies for densification and reconsideration of the Golden Gai area of Tokyo was held in January 2012 for both RMIT University and Tokyo Institute of Technology students. Further details can be found here. Six groups of students presented six final projects at the conclusion of the workshop.
We completed our workshop on the 20th of January. Six groups of RMIT and TIT students presented a range of innovative and exciting proposals for the consideration of future urbanism in Golden Gai. An archive of activity can be found through our blog.
