Building the Future

Ezra Temko, Delaware’s youngest City Council member, spoke on the "Running for Office" panel Friday afternoon in front of the nation’s future progressive policy-makers at The Roosevelt Institution’s National Student Expo in Washington, DC, on July 11.
The 22-year-old Temko got his start in politics through the Roosevelt Institution, the nation’s first student think tank. Before starting an RI chapter on his campus, Temko hadn’t thought much about local policy; now he helps make it. "I think that Roosevelt is tremendously beneficial in helping you talk about issues and helping you to become vision-oriented to really answer questions," Temko said.

Temko is part of a group of more than 8,000 reform-minded students on seventy-five campuses who have funneled their political vigor into policy papers, lobbying efforts, and pragmatic dialogue with community leaders-activism that eschews bullhorns and raucous marches and instead seeks to work through a system that is often disconnected and at odds with the needs, interests, hopes and dreams of today’s youth.

The Roosevelt Institution’s third annual National Student Expo showcased the organization’s most innovative policy proposals of the year. "For students in college, it’s the make it or break it time for political involvement," said Orriel Richardson, a law student at George Washington University who is starting a Roosevelt Institution chapter on her campus. "You have the kids who protest the war and see that war persists and then they’re disenfranchised from the system, as opposed to a student policy think tank that lets you learn that, yeah, you can protest the war, but it’s one of a bundle of elements that need to be addressed to effect change."

Ninja Homes: Sin Den

sin_den-1.jpg

Located in Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Sin Den was desgined by Klein Dytham architecture for a young couple and their baby. Part house, part ‘cutting-edge’ salon, the building is meant to attract ‘those who have their own style and seek a perfect hideaway’.

From the exterior the house/salon is meant to stand out and draw attention to itself. Filling the 50 square meter site with what is essentially a black box, the designers were trying to create a strong graphic image on the otherwise simple and massive box - displaying the creativity and uniqueness of the home’s inhabitants.

The interior of the building is, apparently, quite the opposite - creating what Klein Dytham describes as the ‘perfect interior for a family home’ through a simpler design, with ‘natural’ colors and spaces flooded with natural light from the large windows cut in the ‘box’.
