We can experiment looking at an octagonal grid streets, hexagon grid streets, and the average square grid streets. There is a handbook of expected ethics such as making a pleasant social environment, serving others, reciprocity, building unity.ect.
Ukiyochou uses underground collect and release flood ways much like the floor ways in Tokyo. Ukiyochou has many community storm shelters that are also used as underground shopping centers and perhaps malls. The vision of the town is to be an adventure around every corner, therefore we want to design the town with ideas for adults and children to participate in, explore, and use for free. The town not only features areas for adults, it is also balanced as it feature aesthetics for children and raising family. I want interconnected skyscrapers, an underground and above ground mall.
All paid garages are free for the first three hours. There are free parking garages as well as paid. I want it to be modern and extremely unique. If possible I want one large block in the town that takes an example of China's kowloon walled city and has a labyrinthine that builds upwards as on giant big fat skyscrapper. I want to look into having a long park that is connected like in Sapporo, Japan. If there is an water front area, I want a miniature Venice where boats substitute cars and that is inter connected by bridges. I want great artists to design the city and make it a unique place that resembles a modern-future aesthetic. I want mascots for every district in the town/city (lewd are also allowed). I want the town to be a glimpse of the future by having neon on highway signs, artist renders and designs on freeway guard rails, stoplights that give you pre-transition warnings, highway maps with maps on it.
An example is having movies that are adult play regularly on the movie screen. Adult themes and elements are seen as natural. Perhaps we can call these the red light districts or adult enabled areas. Our town wants to adopt nudist areas where nudity and ethical sexuality is normal and socially accepted. Some areas around the town, shops, or water areas allows for David's SFC culture. There will be shops that allow for a barter and trade system. Skyscrapers have accessible rooftops (with catch nets just in case someone falls, drops stuff, or for some reason jumps).
We want a western adaptation of the pencil homes and homes that are irregular in shape. architecture desires the abstract and contemporary as well as the Japan-modern and traditional architectural styles.
Just like in Japan, presentation is valued. working also allows for playfulness, more freedoms and less strictness, and working at a casual pace.
Code of ethics first, don't be normal and be yourself, and always be united. The crazy vision I have in my mind is like a reality version of VRChat where people can express themselves freely and away from public criticism and social expectations "let people be people". I would like the freedom this society offered to be ethics first then as carefree as one desires. It would be great to create a new kind of western society that fuses with Japanese society adopting the best of both values and calling this society Neo-Japanese perhaps Ukiyochoans or Ukiyocho-jins.
Even though it’sīlurred, feel free to watch it and I hope you find this video interesting (we choose David's youtube channel and his name because he is the king of controversial ideas and overall most suitable for this kind of stuff).Ĭaution: The Ukiyochou Town Document PDF is safe, however the rest may contain nsfw material, viewer digression is advised. I don't think the materials in this video can get any more transformative. We wanted to use it as a visualĮxample for what the town could look or be like. There are many clips we've collected from all around the web.
It's our dream that one dayĮdo (or Ukiyochou 浮世超 "Grand Floating World") can exist beyond the limitations of our own imaginations.Īlthough I would love to share the full video, we had to blur it because weĭon't own the rights for the clips it uses. The video is mainly my idea, but it's also in collaboration with other youtubers and people from deviantart. I am very happy toįinally make a video in which I can completely reveal my ideas. Edo is a town idea I have had for a very long time.
