You would go from downtown LA to downtown San Francisco in under 30 minutes. It would cost you much less than an air ticket than any other mode of transport. I think we could actually make it self-powering if you put solar panels on it, you generate more power than you would consume in the system.</p></em><br /><br /><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">

Information Center for Little Tokyo Design Week: Future City Archinect2011-07-11T19:55:11-04:00>2011-07-12T11:45:48-04:00<img src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/514x/e2/e2nfvpybwhaufnr7.jpg" width="514" height="343" border="0" title="" alt="" /><p>
LA architecture office <a href="http://archinect.com/firms/cover/106366/inaba-inc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">INABA</a> and NYC graphic designers <a href="http://www.mtwtf.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MTWTF</a> have shared with us their design for the information center for <a href="http://www.ltdesignweek.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>Little Tokyo Design Week: Future City</em></a>. The festival, which opens this Thursday, July 14, celebrates the intersection of Japanese design and technology with experimental architecture in Southern California. The event in Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo will feature exhibitions, panel discussions, and other public activities that explore future approaches to urbanism.</p>

The information center displays a video that introduces the festival and which features participating designers and scholars. The exterior of INABA and MTWTF’s project borrows graphic elements of the <em>LTDW</em> theme logo to create a new font. The word ‘info’ is spelled out and repeated as a black and white pattern on three sides. Along the two long interior walls letters of the info font are scaled up into a large graphic that appears to change in form and color as the visitor moves through the space.</p>
