●About PAVILION TOKYO 2021
PAVILION TOKYO 2021 is organized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Arts Council Tokyo（Tokyo Metropolitan
Foundation for History and Culture）, and Executive Committee of Pavilion Tokyo 2021, as a part of Tokyo Tokyo FESTIVAL
Special 13. This project is a world-first experiment to propose unrestrained and new urban landscape by installingarchitectures or objects at locations mainly around the National Stadium. Like a treasure hunt with map or during a walk,visitors can go around the pavilions in which the globally renowned architects and artists express oneʼs hope for the future.
Living Tokyo – Since some time ago, Tokyo has been undergoing a number of major area remodeling projects called
redevelopment. Everywhere has been transformed into something convenient and clean, and we are receiving many
benefits and enjoying a rich life there. On the other hand, as a graduate of Shibuya Aoyama Elementary School, I still havememories of Toden (Tokyo streetcar train) that used to run along Aoyama street proudly, the empty wide sky around theformer ”Kodomo no Shiro (Childrenʼs Castle)” where the Toden garage used to be, and the frightening memories ofpost-war sadness around Shibuya station. The city always had such memorable scenes in it. In fact, this project, PAVILIONTOKYO 2021, aims to create a new story of the city. It is the summer 2021, a year in which the world is changing
dramatically under the pandemic. In that year, the mysterious pavilions that could not possibly exist will appear in the cityof Tokyo, and if the scenes shall reach even a small part of the minds of many people, this project will be a great success.
During the 67 days of the exhibition, we hope you will experience the “living Tokyo.”
