● I think you could have conducted village-oriented and cultural anthropological analysis regarding the distribution of huts. The concept of a structure without foundation is novel and interesting. I would like you to consider if this expression of life without houses, buildings and families, or setting up minimum private spaces here and there and sharing areas between them, is truly the best thing for us. (Shigematsu)
● I understand that the idea of renovating existing buildings is likely to happen, but on the other hand, it also has raised concerns about whether this idea of allowing all these empty spaces will work out as a business. It would be even more attractive if you had considered business schemes for leasing and lotting out. (Baba)
● I believe one of the challenges to be addressed by architects from now on is learning how to allow multiple functions to operate in one space, rather than dividing the space according to each purpose. In the case of this idea, how to design the interspace between a hut and another hut is an important factor. (Hayashi)
● I got the impression that this structure is something taking us back to nature rather than connecting us with the city. In addition to getting connected with nature simply for the purpose of recycling and reuse, this space could become productive if you had the perspective of making good use of nature's regenerating power in a regenerative manner.
