The "On Site Lab Workshop Series" is established in 2006 using the Creator-in-residence facility. A number of tutors from around the world are invited to work together on a chosen theme, while another 30 creators from different fields (including artists, designers, architects, composers and performers) are also brought together for a weeklong program, their collective works are shown and discussed. The program serves as an experiment in bringing together young creators from different background to work together toward new horizon of knowing.

The fourth program "On Site lab Workshop-Series" held this year will focus on the theme "proposal for a recycling society". It consists in outdoor researches in institutions related to the handling of garbage and the recycling in Tokyo, workshops held by creators coping practically with this problem and group works, including lectures, given by researchers and persons in charge of policies, among others. There will be individual or group presentations at the end.

We have 5 open public programs. See the schedule below. (Find a mark, "[open]")
