Kaifu-Kanko OHTANI Dormitory
“A trial of temporary houses for the sufferers”
They say it’s a temporary house. But there
is no temporary life, neither temporary living. A moment is connected with the
future. The sound of “temporary house”may limit How the emergency house should
be…

-Dormitory for singles- ( temporary period )
→ emergency house
Four houses are build around a tree like
windmill or four leaves. Live together around a tree. Feel neighbors behind a
tree. Exchange greetings over a tree. Heal each other with a tree. Each houses
are separated but get closed, in the same time… good distances to get sunlight
in, wind blows through. They will keep in touch with the supporter who sent a
tree to them, even if he lives on the other side of the earth. Almost of the
parts of these houses are made of Tokushima ceder woods in ITAKURA method.

-Dormitory for a family-( revival period ) → eternity house
After temporary house period, four leaves
will be sold to people want to start new life in new house, of course in cheap
price nearly free. Houses will be taken apart into be parts. Operated parts will be carried
to new site and be rebuilt as one whole house, using 2,3,4(?) units (leaves). It’s possible
because it’s wooden and made in ITAKURA method.
