A SMALL WOODY BRICK HOUSE (ASSEMBLY HALL)

MASAO YAHAGI ARCHITECTS

Outline: A meeting place built on private land adjacent to a temple that served as a base for residents after the earthquake. The walls are constructed by piling up precut wooden parts and fixing them with bolts. The walls are constructed by piling up pre-cut wooden parts and bolting them together, providing a simple construction method and the insulating properties of wood. Each part is inscribed with a message from the residents, and serves as a time capsule until the community is reconstructed in the future and the building is dismantled. A building permit has been applied for as a permanent building.
