Statement
I wish people in the world would support and encourage each other. I have seen a geometric structure in the form of a mutually supportive structure installed in a large space by chance. At that moment, the images of students living in harmony with each other at school overlapped. I thought it would be nice to do classroom classes with the concept of mutual support structure. It has a design that stimulates students' curiosity and is light, so it can be easily moved and delivered.
Artworks
Reciprocal Structures are 3D structures that integrate walls and roofs by assembling RF-Units to support each other without pillars and beams. There is a theory that it originated from Leonardo da Vinci, but it can be found in ancient architecture throughout Asia, including Europe, China, and Japan. The mutual support structure has all of light weight, mobility (convenience of dismantling boiled food), non-post structure, and economic feasibility.Therefore, it is possible to implement a streamlined building that can correspond to the implementation of a pillar-beam structure. The mutual support structure is often used not only for buildings but also for implementing temporary stages, resting places, and play spaces.
