Design Talks S2013E20 - Setouchi Triennale 2013 - Part 1: Community Empowerment by Design

The Setouchi Triennale is an art event held on 12 islands in Japan's Seto Inland Sea every 3 years. At each Triennale, there are Spring, Summer and Fall shows. This year, the island of Shodoshima is the stage for a number of experimental projects that all share the theme of "design for revitalizing local areas". In a 3-part series, host Andrea Pompilio will visit the art installations there - this first installment will focus on "community design". Join us as we take a close look at projects that are using design to change towns, and the lives of local residents, for the better.
