自然災害や紛争などで自宅を失った人たちのために、誰でも作ることができる屋外用と屋内用の簡易ハウスを開発した北川啓介さん。屋外用は車2台分のスペースがあれば数時間で完成し、強風や積雪にも対応できる耐久性があります。屋内用は段ボール製で簡単に組み立てることができ再利用も可能。今後は、廃棄する食材や廃材から出る布などを活用し、できるだけ安価で環境負荷をかけない家を開発したいと語る北川さんの思い描く未来とは?
Mr. Keisuke Kitagawa has developed a series of simple houses, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, designed to provide housing for those who have lost their homes in natural disasters or conflicts. The outdoor model can be fully assembled in just a few hours, within the space of two parking spots, and boasts durability that withstands strong winds and heavy snowfall. The indoor model, constructed from cardboard, is easy to assemble and fully reusable. In the future, Mr. Kitagawa speaks of developing homes that are both highly affordable and environmentally friendly by utilizing discarded food materials and fabric scraps derived from waste. What kind of future does he envision?
