THE VENEER HOUSE EXPERIENCE: Creating Socially and Environmentally Conscious Place after Disaster Hiroto Kobayashi

Chapter 1: Developing the Veneer House 3.11 Tsunami On March 11th 2011, a magnitude-9.0 earthquake (officially known as the Great East Japan Earthquake) hit the Tohoku region of Japan, causing an enormous tsunami that devastated Tohoku’s rural coastal villages. The tsunami killed more than 17,000 victims and created 340,000 refugees within matter of minutes. This disaster made it extremely difficult for these rural villages to maintain their communities (see fig. 01). The extreme damage caused by the tsunami added to severe challenges that rural villages in Japan already face: depopulation, declining local industry, caring for an increasingly elderly population, and encroachment of wild animals. The earthquaketsunami disaster accelerated Japan’s already established demographic problem of young and working-age population moving to cities and away from the countryside. After a disaster, different scales of time must be considered in response. Beyond the immediate need to save lives, provide urgent medical care, and supply food and temporary housing, long-term planning strategies must be developed to avoid or reduce the risk of future crises. In attempting to recover from the tsunami, planners, together with people in devastated villages, have asked themselves how to establish a more sustainable local community and industry, resilient living environment, and quality of life – knowing that natural disasters of this magnitude will occur again sometime in the future. Architects have also asked ourselves what we can do for these people and places, what should be done in rebuilding the local environment, and how we can operate most effectively. Quite a few architects are currently involved in the reconstruction of Tohoku, struggling with difficult questions that cannot be resolved instantly and proposing ideas generated by goodwill. In this paper, the author (one such architect) describes his experiences in applying design expertise and an experimental approach to the problem of recovering community vitality from a desperate situation. Searching for a way to respond to the tsunami’s nearly incomprehensible devastation, we began a process of patiently comprehending and analyzing problems in the context of many related issues rather than focusing on isolated facts. We found not only technical but also temporal, social, cultural, and spiritual problems deeply embedded in many aspects of planning and reconstruction. Our challenge was to think holistically and to use the process of disaster recovery to address both immediate needs and underlying, pervasive problems of the Tohoku region. In considering our role we should play in this situation, we tried to comprehend problems from the victims’ points of view and to respond 2

accordingly. Frequently the victims wanted to know about recovery efforts that could be implemented immediately and by themselves. This attitude could provide a reality-check on our thinking and our proposals. From the beginning, we felt that involving these people directly in postdisaster planning was an important aspect in the recovery of community. Social relationships and a sense of ownership needed to be rebuilt, and recovery efforts could not achieve this simply by giving people homes and facilities without their involvement in key design and implementation issues. Respect of Locality Miyagi Prefecture is well known as one of the major wood-producing regions in Japan. A large number of engineered wood manufacturers are located in this prefecture, and many of their factories are located close to the Ishinomaki Bay, a local hub for domestic and international shipping. These factories were severely damaged by the tsunami on 3.11. Although the timber industry is both key for the prefectural economy and essential for revitalizing mountainous ecosystems, most of its activity was shut down by the tsunami. Plywood has been the construction material in highest demand for the reconstruction of the area after the tsunami, but local companies could not produce plywood for more than two years after the disaster. In light of this situation, one thing we could do to help the timber industry’s recovery here was to find a new way to use locally produced wood for the affected communities. Using their own products for themselves would be the fastest and most immediate way for tsunami survivors to recover not only their regional economy but also their regional pride. We decided that a good first step would be to provide a common space – a place for local people to gather, on a site familiar to the community – and to construct it using local wood products. As a team made up of university students and independent volunteers, we had a chance to work together at an important moment of the era. Although what we could do for the devastated area cannot be compared with the scale of the destruction, our team’s involvement in the design and construction of community facilities provided an incomparable experience in the lives of victims, students, and volunteers alike. Such a learning experience – at the exact site where people are in obvious and dire need –cannot be obtained in a classroom; it is precious and formative for all involved. Ultimately what we could do for the local people was to offer viewpoints and ideas reflecting our different backgrounds and design training. As outsiders, we could appreciate a beauty in the place that was not recognized as easily by the local people. We could also objectively identify several aspects of the daily environment that needed improvement (which they also frequently could not easily discern). As outsiders entering the traditional and sometimes conservative cultural arena of Tohoku, it was important that our ideas be seen as resources for the local people, to allow them choices as they tried to recover their normal lives. 3

Another important aspect of our project was encouraging local people to participate in the process of construction. Involvement in the construction process enhanced individual participants’ attachment to the building and promoted a sense of ownership and responsibility for maintenance. Do-it-yourself (DIY) construction methods are generally popular because they are less expensive than hiring professional contractors; however, in cases like this one, the sense of ownership and communal responsibility that develops from this method may be a more significant outcome than achieving the highest possible construction quality. Idea of Pre-fabrication for Housing The widespread use of pre-fabrication in building construction was a key development in the history of industrialization. Beginning with the modularization of standard building components such as tatami in premodern Japan, and later adopted by mainstream International Modernism, pre-fabrication has been recognized as a strategy for reducing the length of time spent building on site while also improving construction quality. This method has been largely adopted by Japanese housing companies since the 1950s and has made producing new houses faster and more affordable; however, the pre-fabricated house’s main drawback has traditionally been reduced potential for individual customization. Both the economic virtues and the uniform (sometimes monotonous) appearance of standardized “pre-fab” construction can be seen in the many emergency buildings supplied to the Tohoku region after the 2011 tsunami. Applying the idea of pre-fabrication to devise new construction methods for emergency shelters is suitable for the following reasons. First, construction can be significantly expedited by having pre-fabricated elements that are supplied according to the needs of the place. Second, the simplicity of assembly allows for non-professional participation; this is important because of the general lack of skilled labor after natural disasters, not to mention the difficulty of finding different contractors when using a mix of conventional construction materials such as concrete, wood, and steel. Third, repeating the same construction method makes it easier and faster to build and improves the quality of construction. Today’s pre-fab housing mega-industry emerged in Japan out of the practical need for fast and cost-effective shelters in the wake of World War II. Daiwa House introduced the first steel pre-fabricated house in response to the shortage in housing caused by wartime air raids: the 1959 “Midget House” officially launched the pre-fab industry in Japan. (see fig. 02) Other companies soon began producing similar pre-fabricated houses using different materials and manufacturing systems. The houses were produced in a factory, sold at department stores, and assembled by professional staff. Small but relatively reasonable and ready-to-assemble houses soon became popular and rapidly changed the idea of a modern house in Japan. The pre-fab house developed an increasing variety of configurations, catering to the demands of larger families with bigger bathrooms and living spaces. New Engineered Wood Building Methodology In exploring the use of pre-fabricated building systems to address the 4

fig. 02

needs of the Tohoku region, we developed and introduced a method of structural plywood assembly using notch-cut joinery. The characteristics of this method are: Speed:

Economy:

Simplicity:

Innovation:

Flexibility:

Time is one of the most essential factors to consider in disaster response: the sooner living conditions improve, the less difficulty we face in recovering community. The rapid preparation of houses is imperative to the situation. Once all the necessary emergency shelters are built, subsidies for new buildings tend to diminish. Low-cost construction methods become a requirement. Due to the shortage of professional construction skills in the region, a simple construction method enables local civilians to build for their urgent needs. Using the most advanced computer-oriented technology enhances the productivity of prefabrication. The accuracy and speed of CNC (Computerized Numerically Controlled) routers and laser cutters facilitate construction. To reduce the materials and elements for construction, we introduced the notch-based joint method, based on a simple mechanism for connecting two panels without any additional elements. A perpendicular composition of two panels makes the structure firm. (see fig. 03) This assemblage is less complicated than other regular joint systems in wood construction; it is also fun to make and can be found in children’s toys. (see fig. 04)

In the next chapters, the author introduces these applications in two Veneer Houses built in Japan’s Tohoku region and a third built in a remote village in Myanmar. Chapter 2: The Minami-sanriku Community House (Veneer House 1) (see fig. 05) The first Veneer House project started in the fall of 2011 in the town of Minami-sanriku in Miyagi Prefecture, part of the Tohoku region. Temporary houses for tsunami victims had been constructed rapidly but without sufficient structures for serving community needs. The lack of community facilities was pointed out to us by a volunteer who lived in the area and was helping those who suffered from the tsunami. At his request, we decided to build a room for local gatherings.

fig. 05

The site prepared for construction was located in an area where former buildings had been washed away. We had to consider whether it was suitable to build a community shelter on a vulnerable site, not least because the government restricted building on such affected areas. However, considering that the site was within an area where people still had active commercial operations, we determined that this would be the best location available for sponsoring civic interaction. Eschewing such sites may discourage people from recovering a sense of community that is vital for their long-term recovery. 5

Here we decided to make a temporary community space for the people of Minami-sanriku, to nurture an attachment to the place and to remind them of their former lives. The sense of belonging and the psychological need for stability superseded any perceived threat. Our proposed house may well be washed away in the event of another disaster; accepting the reality, however, is also a demonstration of the people’s resilience. Our solution aims to build a much-needed facility for and with the people, in hope of rebuilding the community. The Veneer House 1 (VH1) in Minami-sanriku is a single-story building composed of one 50m2 open room, a small office (5m2), and 2 toilets. Its main function is to host meetings and occasional lodgings. The presence of 200 units of emergency housing nearby guarantees that VH1 will be used regularly by the residents who lack other communal buildings. First trial This VH1 was first designed in our architectural design studio by students in the master’s degree program at Keio University’s Graduate School of Media and Governance. We visited Minami-sanriku together and conducted research on what kind of problems the local people had and what they wanted for their future lives. We tried to understand their needs and expectations in terms of their community. What we learned through the research was that many communities were destroyed by the local government’s standards of fairness, which inadvertently diluted existing communities by assigning people to emergency shelters without regard to their existing social networks. People were forced to live with strangers in a new community. However, to build a new community, new relationships are required. One practical necessity is then a space where people can gather and get to know one another. Unlike the hypothetical studio work done in most architecture schools, our students were exposed to real problems that demanded viable solutions. To understand such problems, active on-site participation was necessary. The students studied the needs of the community and designed a building with the aim of promoting the local industry. The simple construction methods were designed to attract local participation. The distinctive characteristic of the Veneer House system is the use precut plywood panels that may be assembled by hand. The most used and popular size of plywood in Japan is 910mm x 1820mm, small enough to be handled by one person. Notches are pre-cut in the panels before they are brought to the site. These notches are used to assemble panels into columns, beams, and other structural elements of the building. The central concept of the Veneer House is to use this notch to make simple joints and to fasten the structure. As the length of the plywood is limited to 1820mm, several pieces are combined to make longer supportive elements such as columns and beams. Screws are used to connect the pieces. (see fig. 06) The design of VH1 required a foundation to be constructed from wood piles. The plywood structure was placed on top of the piles and fixed to the ground. Other materials used to finish the exterior and interior are corrugated zinc panels for the roofing, polycarbonate panels for the walls, glass-wool for insulation, and tatami mats for the floor. These 6

fig. 06

were assembled after the plywood structure was built. The assembly took time because of the variety of details. For the roof rafters and floor joists, 2x4 timbers were used because of the lack of longer plywood elements (this limitation was overcome in later projects). The use of Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) opens up new ways of deploying veneer products. LVLs cut to a thickness of 50mm were used for the flooring; the simple, fine texture of the flooring carries an impression of thick wood and provides the comfort appropriate to a living space. (see fig. 07)

Limitations Although we designed VH1 as a simple structural system to encourage local participation, the number of construction participants from the local community was limited due to the long hours already required to recover and maintain their own businesses, houses and properties. While their insight and involvement was still essential to the project, we had to look elsewhere for the labor. In total, we sent more than 100 students from Tokyo and Sendai City to construct VH1. Aside from limited local participation, we encountered several other difficulties during construction. One was in making the foundation of the building: we could not get professional carpenters for more than a month because of the shortage of skilled labor in the area. Another was in using different materials to construct the different parts of the building. We had to alter our methods depending on the material; the installation of insulation, for instance, was strenuous and time-consuming because we could not obtain the right stapler for that purpose. We had no choice but to become accustomed to using alternative tools. These problems extended the construction period and eventually called for professional assistance. Response of the local people The most unexpected criticism we received in the process of construction was in using salvaged plywood that showed signs of tsunami damage. We were told by a local resident that using damaged plywood with dark spots reminded them of the devastation. Since its use was implicitly avoided by the community, he insisted that we paint or hide these panels completely. We were therefore obliged to rethink the idea of using local materials; the community’s emotional response to such reminders of the disaster was far more sensitive than we had imagined. Another point to be mentioned is that the house lost its original function when the person in charge left his position. As a volunteer, our client ran VH1 as a community facility for the local people but found it difficult to sustain voluntarily support amid insufficient funding and unpredictable policy changes from the government. As a result, the building was passed to the site’s landlord without any conditions, including guarantees that the original function be maintained. The lack of a consolidated policy toward recovery meant that the social conditions were changing day by day. Once facilities such as Veneer House were constructed, there was no telling how changes in policy might affect the building. The lesson we learned is that such facilities must be adaptable to changes in social and political conditions. In the long run, society will define how buildings are to be shaped and operated. The flexibility of VH-1’s assembly and disassembly method may help adjust to such potential changes. 7

The cost of construction was paid for using government and NGO funding supplemented by charitable donations. A total of ¥3.5 million (approximately $35K) was spent on construction. All travel expenses for students and other volunteers were covered by a different fund. The fundraising process was itself a productive learning experience for the students. Chapter 3: The Maeami-hama Community House (Veneer House 2) (see fig. 08) Maeami-hama of Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, is located in the Ojika Peninsula. Originally composed of 40 households that depended on the fishing industry, only five remained after the tsunami. All ships and fishing equipment were destroyed in a day. What the survivors needed was a place to gather and to work together, also to store equipment and supplies. The local fishermen told us we could expect help from them, though they could only work in the afternoons after returning from the sea.

In Maeami-hama, however, we did not have sufficient time on-site to share all the design details with the fishermen. Therefore, we prepared an Assemblage Manual to illustrate the procedures of construction. (see fig. 09) This manual explains the number of people, duration of time, amount of building elements, and the order of assembly required for building certain structural elements such as beams and columns.

A shortage of labor delayed the project; as it turned out, we could not get the fishermen to help every day because their availability depended on the weather and the fishing schedule, which shifted day to day. The inconsistent supply of labor made it difficult to estimate the required working hours and the overall duration of the project. This unpredictability obliged us to reduce each building task. For this, the manual was helpful in composing a series of shortened construction processes.

In this project, we hired an engineer who could use CNC (Computerized Numerically Controlled) routers to precut the panels. The precise cutting of notches helped the builders assemble elements faster and more smoothly. CNC routers and laser cutters unmistakably reduce the labor and time required for building, making it worthwhile to promote the pre-cut panel supply system. (see fig. 10) Participation Despite some delays, the construction was primarily carried out by the fishermen themselves, who are also the future users of the facility. Participating in the construction process engages the people and creates a sense of ownership, which in turn develops a sense of responsibility in maintaining the building. Buildings that are built by the users are therefore effective in eliminating unnecessary labor costs and in raising the level of motivation. (see fig. 11)

supervising design team. Compared to wooden buildings constructed in a conventional way, the Veneer House is arguably more cost-effective per square meter and therefore worth further application. (see fig. 12) Chapter 4: The Myanmar Ma Naw Heri Village Learning Center (Veneer House 3) (see fig. 13) Veneer House 3 (VH3) is located in Myanmar, in a small country village called Ma Naw Heri near the city of Pathein. Living conditions in the village are very poor in terms of sanitation, privacy, and durability of buildings. The residents of this village were forced to move here after the region where they had been living was hit by a severe hurricane and then a drought in consecutive years; the government had designated Ma Naw Heri as a residential district for refugees. Some families were relocated from Myanmar’s biggest city, Yangon, others from smaller villages. It is not well-established settlement; most houses are poorly constructed and relatively small for the average family size of four to six members. Infrastructure for sewage, fresh water, electricity, and gas are completely lacking. The village’s only wells were dug some years ago by an international NPO. The weather is dry and sunny for nine months of the year, but between July and September the region experiences an extremely wet rainy season. The village becomes inundated for weeks at a time, with water rising above the floors of houses and making living and sanitary conditions far worse for this destitute population. (see fig. 14) Our design team – again, the Kobayashi Laboratory of Keio University – was introduced to this village by the local YMCA, which takes responsibility for maintaining a facility for the people of Ma Naw Heri. The YMCA took an interest in our work in Tohoku and asked us to study whether a similar kind of communal facility might be adapted to the climate and social conditions of this village. In the process of researching the village’s condition, we held a series of workshops with local children and adults and learned that surviving the rainy season was a serious concern. During the rains and floods, fathers and other potential wage-earners could not work (farming is the main industry of the region), and children could not go out to play either; the extended family must stay together within limited space for a long time. (see fig. 15). Living space in these homes is quite limited and without any privacy; and likely as a result, domestic violence increased markedly during the rainy season. During our initial visit, we also noticed that the village lacked the kind of communal space that would allow children and adults to escape the restrictions of their small houses and to devote time to education and other productive or fun activities. In response to these conditions, we proposed a village learning center as the program for VH3; the building is mainly intended as a school for local children, but it also invites adults to visit at any time for study and communal activity. This building would be an important place for people to escape their enclosed domestic spaces, especially in the rainy season. The YMCA of Pathein would also use the building for an annual medical clinic it runs for villagers. Process After returning from the workshops in Myanmar, our team developed the learning center program in greater detail and designed the building

using the same Veneer House system we had piloted in Tohoku. The precut panel assembly method offered clear advantages in reducing the on-site construction time and making the construction cost more economical than using local construction methods. We investigated supply routes for local plywood (imported from Thailand rather than produced in Myanmar at the time of VH3) and tested the quality of these panels; though different from Japanese plywood, we found that the Thai plywood available in Myanmar was suitable for the construction method we had devised in Japan. As plywood production is expected to increase in Myanmar in the near future, we expect that local residents can build additional structures for less cost soon. In this project, the construction period was limited by the availability and cost of on-site accommodation for students involved in the construction. We settled on a three-week construction period and determined the construction process accordingly. Because of the condition of the site and small improvements to our methods, we could make the construction period shorter than the previous two projects in Tohoku. After a base of brick and cement had been built to the specifications of local engineers, we erected the main plywood structure within a week (see fig. 16) and then used the two remaining weeks to complete the work, including the outer finish layers of roof, wall, and balcony. After the construction of foundations, only three weeks were needed to construct this 60sqm learning center – extremely fast compared with ordinary house construction in Myanmar. Hybrid use of advanced and local materials We used plywood panels imported from neighboring Thailand for the primary structure of this building, and local materials for roof (corrugated zinc panels), walls (woven bamboo sheets), and balconies (hardwood posts and beams). While the plywood structure is expected to last a long time, the other locally produced finishes may be replaced more frequently. As local materials, these finish layers are familiar and easily maintained; they also give Veneer House 3 the outward appearance of other local structures, allowing the learning center to appear well integrated into the village. Maintaining harmony with the existing environment – while strategically using affordable new materials and technologies – plays an important role in preserving their local culture. (see fig. 17). Participation The involvement of children from the village was essential in the construction of this learning center; they were to be the primary users, and their participation in all phases of design and construction was critical to their understanding of the building and its future use. Experience shows that every person who participates in constructing a building gains some sense of ownership; this is especially true for children, for whom the shared experience of creating a building where there was none before can be sensational, even life-altering. The sense of empowerment that this construction process gave the children of Ma Naw Heri is perhaps a more profound lesson than any others to be imparted by the learning center in coming years. (see fig. 18) 10

Limited construction tools In this construction site, we could not rely on a regular supply of electricity. Without electricity, we came to appreciate the importance of having prepared (pre-fabricated) materials requiring only minimal additional treatment on site. The lack of electricity was frustrating at times as we attempted to cut plywood or screw pieces together, but in the process we found that we can assemble plywood and many other materials with simple tools such as saw and hammer; this made us realize that diverse construction methods can be imagined and improvised in situations where the local level of technical advancement and available resources are not what we are used to. Application to new housing system in Myanmar Since constructing VH3, we have started to design a simple house using the same plywood construction system; the house prototype is intended to raise the living standard of a low-income group of people. If we can provide a small but relatively cheaper house where families can enjoy at least a minimum level of privacy, that will surely make some people’s lives better. For that purpose, we are currently proposing a formula of 2 x 20 x 200 x 2000; that is, a house that can be built by 2 people, 20 square meters in size, requiring 200 minutes and 2000 US dollars to construct. This is the ambition for the next phase of our Veneer House project. (see fig. 19) Conclusion In helping local communities recover from the devastation caused by the Tohoku tsunami (and from other natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and so on), we have learned the importance of maintaining and enhancing community ties during the rebuilding process. Despite being torn apart by disasters – or perhaps because of it – these communities display a strong will, finding ways to gather and share their experiences and hopes for the future. Sharing time together and coming to agreements about the work that must be done is an essential part of rebuilding devastated communities. In each of our Veneer House projects, we have tried as much as possible to involve local people in the process of building communal facilities that they themselves will use, enjoy, and maintain. This process instills in participants a sense of individual ownership and responsibility, as much as it recreates a shared sense of community. Our new construction method is based not only on technical invention but also on our commitment to a social dimension: helping people recover a sense of stability and normalcy in everyday life and – if all goes well – weaving an element of renewed joy into those lives.

東日本大震災後、仮設住宅における住環境の改善が求められる中、風呂に対する要求は大きい。家の狭い風呂よりも大きな風呂に皆で一緒に入りたい、そんな従来のコミュニティの結束を促す共同浴場が期待されている。南三陸ベニヤハウスは共同浴場計画の第一期として、地域の人たちが気軽に立ち寄れるスペースとなるよう設計・建設された。宮城県産の間伐材から作られるベニヤ合板を用い、プロの技術に頼らず学生や素人によって組立てられる簡便で廉価、かつ地域産業振興・環境改善に貢献する建築工法となっている。市場に最も出回っているベニヤ合板の三六板（910x1820mmボード）を無駄の出ないよう455mm単位で分割し、それらに組み立て用の切り込み（ノッチ）をプレカットで入れておく。部材同士の接合は、ノッチを相互に

While there has been a vital need for improvements in the environments of temporary housing after the Great East Japan Earthquake, there have also been a number of requests for public bathing facilities. Instead of bathing privately, many local residents wish to bathe in spacious baths communally. A public bathing facility was anticipated to encourage the strengthening of bonds within the community. The Minamisanriku Veneer House was designed and constructed as the first phase of a public bath project with its objective to serve as a casual gathering space for local residents. Using veneer boards made from local forest thinnings, assembled by amateurs, it demonstrates a unique construction method which is both simple fast, cost-effective, and contributes to both the local industrial development and environmental improvement. The 910x1820mm veneer boards are divided into units of 455mm and are provided with precut notches. The boards are assembled by interlocking notches and reinforcing the joints with wood scraps and screws.

This construction method is easy to build and can also be disassembled and relocated, making it suitable for disaster sites and urgent/temporary building demands. Construction time can be further reduced by prefabricating building components.

前網浜ベニヤハウスは、前掲の南三陸ベニヤハウスを改良して構想されたベニヤハウス第二弾である。地域間伐材を利用した被災者のコミュニティのための集会所兼倉庫計画であり、地元の漁業組合有志によって施工された。前網浜ベニヤハウスでは、建設の全ての工程と手順を「建設マニュアル」に図示し、設計図面を解読しなくても簡単に建設の過程を理解できる仕組みを導入した。これにより、建設の手戻りがなくなったことと、その場に居合わせた建設要員が次に何をやらなければならないか即座に理解できるようになった。またインターネットによる工程の公開により関係各人に工事の進捗が詳細に伝えられていった。地域のリソースを生かして「早く安く簡単に」を合言葉に、メディアの改良を加えられたベニヤハウスには、引き続き新たな建築の工法を模索する試行錯誤が行われている。

The Maeamihama Veneer House is the second version of the Minamisanriku Veneer House, with improvements made from the prior. The building includes a gathering space and a storehouse for the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake. It was constructed by volunteers of the local fishermen’s union using local forest thinnings for material. The entire construction process was diagrammatically illustrated in a construction manual, so that the process could be easily understood without design drawings. This reduced errors during construction and all construction personnel were able to understand the sequence of construction. In addition to the manual, the construction progress was shared in detail among all persons involved through the internet. This veneer house which utilizes local resource is now furnished with media improvements, is one step in the development and exploration of an innovative “fast, low-cost, and easy” construction method.

マノヘリ村ラーニングセンターは、ミャンマーのエーヤワディ管区マノヘリ村にて集落住民とともに建設されたラーニングセンターである。建設と建設後の運営を通じて、民主化・グローバル化により都市との格差が広がる地方集落の衛生環境や教育機会などのさまざまな生活環境の向上、またコミュニティ強化に寄与することを目的としている。

The Manawhari Learning Center, located in the Ayeyarwady Region of Myanmar, was constructed with its local villagers of Manawhari. This provincial village suffers with poor sanitary conditions and educational opportunities, as disparity grows between cities as an artifact of democracy and globalization. Through the construction and management, the project aims to contribute to the improvement of such local living environment, and also to empower the local community and enhance their bonds.

本プロジェクトでは、部材数を極力減らし、より容易に建設できるようデザイン及び建設工程の更なる簡便化を図った。電気の得られない現場では、とんかちとのこぎりのみの限られた道具で施工が行われた。また、構造にはベニヤ材を使用する一方、仕上げには竹などの現地の素材を使用することで、地域に溶け込む建築を目指した。

In order to make the construction as easy as possible, building components are kept to a minimum which simplifies the procedure. The building was constructed using only hammers and saws, since electricity was not available at the site. Veneer boards were used for structure and local materials such as bamboo were used for finishing, respecting both the local craftsmanship and building culture. We hope that this learning center will blend in to the community.

合板の新しい構法による簡便な「家」のプロジェクトである。この家のプロトタイプは低所得者層の人たちの生活水準を向上させることを意図している。小さいけれども比較的安価で、家族の構成員が少なくともそれぞれのプライバシーを守れるようにできればより良い生活が送れるであろうという考えから、2 x 20 x 200 x 2000プロジェクトを立ち上げた。これは2 名により20㎡の面積の家を200分で2000ドルのコストで作り上げる、という計画である。これがベニアハウスの次なる挑戦となる。

A simple house using plywood construction system; the house prototype is intended to raise the living standard of a low-income group of people. If we can provide a small but relatively cheaper house where families can enjoy at least a minimum level of privacy, that will surely make some people’s lives better. For that purpose, we are currently proposing a formula of 2 x 20 x 200 x 2000; that is, a house that can be built by 2 people, 20 square meters in size, requiring 200 minutes and 2000 US dollars to construct. This is the ambition for the next phase of the Veneer House project.

Site Plan

The rural town of Cogon sits on Bohol Island, a region hard hit by the 2013 Philippines Earthquake. With a population of around 700, Cogon’s resources are limited and day school was, until recently, held in the town’s small chapel. This project, funded in part by the Japan International Cooperation Agency, aimed to create a new day school and community space for the people of Cogon. All structural components for the building were precut using a CNC facility at Bohol Island State University’s Fab Lab. To further streamline the process, wood joinery techniques were applied including wooden wedges, which allowed the structural frame to be assembled without glue, nails, or power tools. After conducting a workshop with local children and families, construction commenced with citizens and students from Keio University taking equal part. Local materials including woven bamboo panels serve as the skin for the structural skeleton and tie the building to the architectural traditions of Bohol.

チャリコットベニヤハウスは、シングルファミリーに対応したの家のプロトタイプとして、２０１５年ネパールの震災地、ドラカ州チャリコットで建てられた。伝統的なネパールの家は、レンガや石を主な建材として建設されるため、壁は重く柔構造ではないことから、今回の地震による災害は避けられない現実となった。ベニアハウスでは合板を用い軽

This Charikot Veneer House is a single family home prototype built in Charikot, Dolakha, a part of Nepal severely damaged by earthquakes in 2015. Traditionally, Nepali construction replies on brick and masonry walls. These structures are heavy and inflexible which can lead to disastrous result, as seen in the recent earthquake. Conversely, the Veneer House employs a lightweight and flexible structural frame which is suitable for seismically active regions.

量で柔軟性の高い構造フレームを採用することによって、地震活動の活発な地域に適している工法とした。チャリコットベニヤハウスは、慶應大学小林研究会がチャリコットの合板メーカーと協力しあって作成した。コミュニティフォレスとから取れる現地木材を使用し建設工事を行なった。ネパールにおけるこのシステムでの初めての建設の可能性を検証し、ネパールの震災からの復興と回復にむけた活動としたい。ベニアハウスの建設を通して、地域住民の一体感が増すような建築の促進を期待する。

To create the Charikot Veneer House, The Kobayashi Lab and Keio University partnered with Dolakha Plywood Inc., a plywood manufacturer based in Charikot. Sourcing materials locally allowed project stakeholders and the local community to participate during the development and the construction process. This home prototype is only the beginning of what could be a significant contribution to the reconstruction and recovery of Nepal in the wake of the recent disaster. Through Veneer House, an architecture that not only merges with the local environment, but more importantly, create a bond with the local people and people that living in this house.

七ヶ浜ベニアハウスは仮設ステージおよび海の家として東日本大震災後５年となる七ヶ浜の海開きを祝って計画された。そのシンプルなハーフシリンダーの形状によって合板ピースの種類を５まで低減することができ、組み立てを容易にすることが可能となった。１年のうちほぼ２、３週間しか開設されない建物では、コンサートはカフェなどの浜でのアクティビティが展開されるが、その基礎は簡易な LVL （ラミネーテッド・ベニア・ランバー）によって作られている。この仮設ベニアハウスは津波で大きな被害の出たこの地域の活動を後押しするとともに復興に寄与することを意図されて作られた。

The Shichigahama Veneer House is a temporary beach pavilion built to celebrate the reopening the Shichigahama Beach 5 years after its destruction in the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. Its simple half cylindrical shape is made up of only 5 different types of components, allowing for a fast and easy construction process. The pavilion is only used for a few weeks in the height of summer, so it will be erected and disassembled each year. The beach pavilion accommodates functions including a concert venue and a temporary café. The simple foundation and light weight frame reduces the storage, transport, and construction costs associated with previous pavilions made of LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber). This temporary Veneer House fits the need of the summer festivities at Shichigahama, but it also helps the community to heal and recover part of what it lost in the devastation of the disaster.

This tea house was built to introduce the architecture and culture of Japan to the Croatian island of Vis. The simple pavilion will be used for cultural exchange between the two countries.

あり仮設的であったが、自分で組み立てて作るこの合板の茶室も日本建築のそのようなしなやかで一時的な性格を表現している。イタリアから運ばれた合板パネルはスロベニアの高校にあるCNCルー

Originally, Japanese teahouses were built to be temporary and movable. This self-assembled plywood hut replicates these features in an attempt to highlight the agile and ephemeral nature of Japanese architecture.

ターで教育の一環としてカットされ、それがクロアチアのヴィス島に運ばれ、茶室の構造として組み立てられた。軽快な茶室は周囲の石やレンガの建築との好対照をなし、異文化を背景とした持続可能な建築として認識される。

Plywood panels were prepared in Italy and were then taken to Slovenia for CNC machining. The prefabrication process involved workshops for local high school students. The precut pieces were then brought to Vis where they formed the structural frame of the pavilion. The light construction of the tea house contrasts strongly with the surrounding stone masonry buildings while acknowledging the site and views to the ocean beyond. It is recognized by the community in Vis as a new proposal for sustainable architecture with a different cultural background.

ベニアハウスパッケージプロジェクトは、2011年以来開発してきたベニアハウスを一つの住宅のパッケージとしてプロダクト化するものです。ジョイント部には釘やネジを使わず、また外壁部には凹凸の無い壁面を構成することができるようになりました。これにより外装材を直接構造部に容易に取り付けることができるようになり建設時間を縮減できました。プレカットされた合板や外装材は平らに積み上げられることから、パッケージにした際のボリュームがコンパクトに納まり、輸送が容易にできます。開口部の窓・ドア、庇、家具についても合板を主体的に用いて構成できるようにしました。この家が臨時の仮設住宅として、そしてそれ以外にも広く恒久的に活用されることを目論みます。

The goal of the Veneer House Package Project is to make affordable housing into an easy-to-ship product. Using technology developed since 2011, we have created a set of compact building components which can be assembled easily. Without using nails or screws, we are able to make a flush external wall surface. By doing this, exterior finish materials can be applied to the wall directly which significantly reduces construction time. As the pre-cut panels and other materials can be packed flat, the total volume of the materials becomes compact, reducing transport costs. Windows, doors and other elements such as eaves are also prepared in plywood. The simple and compact Veneer House product aims to be used not only as transitional housing but also applied widely as a framework for permanent homes.

Housing 2012 Prototype Design

近年、地球規模の環境問題を考えるに当たり、CO2削減のための森林の質とその向上が問われている。我が国は国土の7割弱を森林で覆われているものの、それらが有効に活用されていないのが現状である。林業の衰退、木造家屋に伴う木の文化の衰退が著しい。このような中で、木材の燃焼を大幅に防ぐ液対処理の技術が開発された。本プロジェクトは、この木の不燃技術が、国交省の定める二時間耐火の大臣特認を得られることを想定し、建築基準法に準じた木造建築物の可能性を検討する。無垢のLVLパネルを構造壁とした壁構造の場合、最大14階までの木造建築物が建設可能となる。パネル同士のジョイントに木組みの工法を用いることで、金属に依存した既往のパネル工法を越える新しい手法の開発を目指す。また、日本の伝統建築である五重塔が示すように、木造の高層建築物は、その柔軟さや軽量性によって地震力を軽減することができる。さらに、木材パネルをインテリアに使用することで、木が呼吸することによる空気調整機能を活用することができる。LVLを用いた建築は、構造材・仕上げ材・断熱材を兼ねているため、通常多くの工種を必要とする鉄

Considering the environmental problems that have grown into a global scale, the quality of forests and their growth has recently been called into question. However, despite our nation having almost 70% of its land covered with forests, they are not being utilized efficiently. The decline of forestry and wood culture based on wooden houses are significant. Under such conditions, a new liquid treatment which drastically reduces the rate of combustion of wood is being developed. Assuming that this non-combustible technology will acquire the special approval of 2 hour fire resistance by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, this project explores the possibilities of wooden architecture that follows the Building Standard Law. Shear-wall structure made completely out of LVL panels allows a maximum14-story high wooden building. By adopting traditional Japanese timber construction for panel joints, we aspire to transcend existing panel construction techniques that rely on metal joints. As Japanese traditional five-story pagoda demonstrates, such high-rise wooden buildings have the ability to reduce seismic forces through its flexibility and lightness. Furthermore, using wooden panels to the interior will enable us to utilize its humidity absorption properties. LVL panel’s feature of providing structure, insulation, and finish leads to the reduction of time and cost of construction.

骨造の建築に比べ、時間とコストの短縮につながるというメリットを持つ。このように、伝統的な木造建築の知恵と新たな建築技術を用いた、新しい木造建築物の創造を目指す。

Thus, here we aspire to create new wooden architecture by combining traditional wooden architectural wisdom and new technology.

竣工した５軒

上：前網浜コミュニティストレージ（宮城県石巻市）下：ドラカベニアハウス（ネパール）

上：マノヘリ村ラーニングセンター（パテイン、ミャンマー）中：コゴン村保育園（ボホール島、フィリピン）下：南三陸ベニアハウス（宮城県吉郡南南三陸町）

2011年の東日本大震災後、職人や資材、重機が不足するなかで、早く安く簡単にセルフビルドで建設できる新しい構法としてベニアハウスを考えました。これは、世界中どこでも手に入るベニア合板から切り出した、人が手で運べるサイズのパーツを、特殊な技術や工具なく組み立てることで建設するシステムです。これまで、東日本大震災の被災地に2軒、ミャンマーに1軒、フィリピンに1軒の４軒が竣工しました。2015年度には、地震で被災したネパールへの復興支援として、現地で量産できる生産体制を構築することを目標に活動しています。
