On 18 October 2021, an outdoor Europe Readr installation opened in the Tokyo suburbs of Kita-Senju, which will function as an open-air library and a gathering space inviting local residents and other visitors to read works of European and Japanese literature.
The installation was designed and created by co+re together with students of the Meiji, Keio and Japan Women’s universities in cooperation with the local ARCO architects supporting a new paradigm in Japanese urban planning “machi-zukuri”, which encourages the participation of local residents. The installation is a welcome addition to the Sentsuku gathering space featuring a small café bar, a cooking studio and an event room suitable for small-scale exhibitions.
