Christof Schlegel is working in the fields of architecture, urbanism and art.
Since 1992 works and projects on questions of urban representation, urban image politics and on the construction of the city image by various media.
Several projects in cooperation with Almut Rink and with the Office for Cognitive Urbanism (Christof Schlegel, Andreas Spiegl, Christian Teckert). These projects mainly deal with the influence of media on urban perception and identity. Christof Schlegel developed several projects during long
term stays/residencies in Los Angeles/USA, Tokio/Japan and Nanjing/China. This time at youkobo, which locates in the residential area of Tokyo, he will work on the project ' TAMING TOKYO' which is a draft for an intervention into a domestic urban landscape. The project focusses on residual urban space as a final resource for restoring social and ecological sustainance in a hyperdense metropolis.The project deals with the domestication of these spaces through communal and emancipative greening strategies.
