chain in the metro

In Milan, in the metro, there is a chain like this.
Why? Who's for?

The answer is that this is for dog.

For me this is quite interesting because, in Japan
we can not bring a big dog in the metro, except a guide dog.

who's print is this?

"who's print is this?"

"the footsteps of bikes!"

Concrete is not perfect material, from the point of view of global warming.
But not only for this reason, but also because of natuer of city Milan,
concrete seems to be unsuitable material to cover the city.

Itamao told me that, because of heat in summer, the surfaces of loads
get softer and the bikes on the load creat these prints(patterns).

There is no universal material for urban desing as well as strategy.
We know we have to think about context when we think about strategy
of urban design, however do we think about context when we choose
the material to realize that concept or strategy.

ad clock in Milan

It is said that Italian people, not only Italian but most of latin people,
are quite loose towards time.

However, in Milan, there are full of Ad clock.
You can find at each conner of the city, almost.

Is this advertisement efficient?(they really look at the time?)

One said, "Yes, it is effective, italians look at how much they are late."
