Jorge Almazán is a Tokyo-based architect and a researcher and an educator at the graduate Center for Space and Environment Design Engineering at Keio University, where he leads Studiolab, a university-based collaboration platform dedicated to design innovation and research.

He is also the author of Emergent Tokyo: Designing the Spontaneous City, which is the focus of this interview.

In this conversation, we cover Tokyo’s design, Yokocho alleyways, public spaces in Tokyo, and plenty more!

I hope you have as much fun as I did, so please enjoy my conversation with Jorge Almazán.
