ISAIA2016 International Student Design Competition, September 2016, Tohoku, Sendai, Japan Theme: The Future of the Seashore – Designing for Reconstruction of Shichigahama –
The ISAIA2016 International Student Design Competition themed ‘The Future of the Seashore – Designing for Reconstruction of Shichigahama –’ was organized by the Architectural Institute of Japan and hosted at the Tohoku University, Japan in conjunction with the 11th International Symposium on Architectural Interchanges in Asia (ISAIA) on 20-23 September 2016. The main design problem to be answered in the competition was, ‘how can we utilize the void left from the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami of the year 2011 in the area of Shobuta shore in Shichi-ga-hama town, so that what had once been connected can again find its way to be reunited’.
A team of five UTM students studying in the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Built Environment proposed their solution for the competition utilizing the concept ‘Reminiscence, Resilience, Reignition’ which embraces the spatial-time relationship of the past, present and future, respectively. The team members consisted of two students from the Master of Architecture program, Geraldine Teoh Pei Lynn and Chow Pui Teng, and three final year students of the Bachelor of Science in Architecture Program, Lee Tsun Xian, Lo Wei Meng and Ng Kar King, and were supervised by Dr. Doris Toe Hooi Chyee. Being shortlisted for the second stage of the competition, the team was invited to participate in a series of workshops, site visit and final presentation in Sendai from 20-22 September 2016. They had the site visit at Shichigahama and also the Disaster Recovery Public Housing and Evacuation Shelter on the first day of the workshop. On the second day, their proposal went through a mid-review with Prof. Ika Putra of Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia while the final presentation was made on 22 September 2016 at Tohoku University. Last but not least, the team received the Makoto Shin Watanabe Award, which was a special jury award from the Chief Juror. The achievement brought not only pride to UTM, but also invaluable global experience which is beneficial in the architectural education realm of spatial-environment design, people and community, culture, and technology.
