Kuchinoerabu Remote Island Project Collaborative Project of Architecture and Education

Person in Charge of the Project : Yurika Shimane
Kuchinoerabu Island, which is located at Yakushima-cho of Kagoshima, is the depopulated remote island of 135 people. We found humanity that is almost lost at urban areas in lifestyle of Kuchinoerabu Island and had aimed realizing "the Island Society Lasting to its Remotest Descendants" since 5 years ago, collaborating with islanders.
1 year has passed since the large eruption and most of islander had already returned to the island. This summer, we took actions based on Kuchinoerabu Summer Festival, which is the symbol of revitalizing. Building relationship between regions and universities for conducting educational program and natural construction is main purpose for this year. This is a collaborative project of Education and Architecture.
