JURY CITATION
Rebuilding a tiny house destroyed by an earthquake in a remote village is more socio-economic
than architectural for locals. For them, safety and resilience to earthquake are far more important.
Thus the villagers chose to build brick-concrete houses even without enough money.
The architect tried to solve the problem by inventing a new prototype of rural housing using
rammed-earth technics, which can improve the safety, quality, and dignity of the living environment
and preserve the vernacular of the traditional architectural language without adding
substantial environmental load. It is always easy to rebuild a house, but the architect chose to
look more deeply into the possibility of designing a type of housing that can serve the group
that is facing the same dilemma, which shows his/her care for the society as well as devotion to
the profession. This is what the jury would like to encourage.
