Yakushima Messenger
Yasushi Horibe
- Outline
- Horibe says that when he designed "House on Yakushima" (2000), he felt the overwhelming power of nature in the humidity and smell of the island, and realized that architecture had no choice but to follow the forces of nature. To protect the building from the intense wind, rain, and humidity, the site is surrounded by a shale wall made of shale mined on the island, and two wooden gable roofs are placed on top of the wall to form the main building and a separate building. The materials are neatly adjusted to find the optimal solution for the site.
