Rural Centre in Concrete and Wood Construction
The architects Kunio Maekawa and his former student Otako are particularly concerned with counteracting rural depopulation by creating rural centres. They pursue three goals: 1. Renewing the Japanese way of life in adaptation to contemporary needs. 2. A new synthesis between the possibilities of agriculture and those of industrialization. 3. Architectural solutions that, in conjunction with other creative arts, can provide focal points for rural life.
