Comment
 

Ths workshop, started in 1993, is for repair wooden pergola and plants at the beginning. Soon the participants come to study about relation between plant and architecture, vernacular culture, the climate and architecture, local material and life.

So we create the material actually, and we attempt to repair the architecture by using it. The participants learn vernacular sense, the way to repair the architecture from a long time ago, and the way to design a plan with the idea of repair.
