Summary:

In 2013, as part of the Setouchi Art Triennale, dot architects were invited to the island community of Shodoshima to realize a small community centre based on intensive conversations with locals regarding their desires, needs, and memories. Returning to this project for this video, Toshikatsu Ienari, one of the firm's partners, relates how his own experience of a devastating earthquake as a child influenced his approach to social architecture, how his own interests shifted from design and construction to the user experience, and how he considers the countryside to be the frontier for innovation--with architects having a critical role to play in it.
