2012 Inspirations Awards Winners
practice-based category winner Project gyoryu-no-yu Where minamisanriku-cho, miyagi prefecture, Japan Designer hiroto kobayashi, graduate school of media and governance at keio university, and students Nearly 70 percent of all houses in the town of Minamisanriku-cho were devastated by the March 11, 2011 Tsunami. Professor Hiroto Kobayashi and students designed and built a temporary community house to support nearby building sites and for use as a gathering space by local residents. The team pursued a design that would have a deeper connection with the community, rather than just providing a new space. With wood processing and manufacturing being a main local industry, plywood was the material of choice for the house.
