Before leaving tokyo and after the first period of analysis and research in akihabara, each student developed a hypothesis of work on after they return in relation to the theme of the seminar. The task was to formulate particular issues based on the initial research on site, to filter out of the mass of collected information something that could be articulated and become a relevant basis for discussion of the relationship of private and public space in akihabara. In a short titled text, each students theme was presented and discussed by the entire group during our last evening at the university of tokyo.
