Open workshop using earthquake damaged wood: ‘Your 24cm Dream House’

Many smaller cedar trees damaged by the earthquake are unsuitable for timber milling, and must be disposed of.
In this workshop participants designed their own house on a 24cm base of thin cedar plank.
Earthquake damaged wood was used for walls, windows and roofs, and participants were encouraged to let their imagination roam free.
Cloth scraps provided by Marimekko were used to decorate the interiors with carpets and wallpaper as each participant desired.
Children of all ages joined in, with younger children being helped by their parents.

■ Dates : June 15 – June 16, 2012 (Sun-Mon)

■ Venue : “aiiima”, inside Creative Lounge Mov, Shibuya Hikarie 8
