For the 8th session of Creative Reconstruction: Vision Formulation 2, we were honored to welcome Mr. Momoyo Kaijima, associate professor at Tsukuba University and also architect, who introduced in his lecture “Archi+Aid”, a recovery support architects network. Archi+Aid organises summer camps and workshops mainly in the Oshika Peninsula, and is implementing projects making possible movement towards higher lands that would benefit the coastal areas in future times, and building “core houses”. Archi+Aid places importance on using local material for all the projects. It was for us a source of inspiration about how to lead projects that would relate to a feeling of pride for our own region.
