This church was disassembled in June 2005 and all the materials were sent
to a city in Taiwan(μ§Ό’ΑΔΊj. The reconstruction in Taiwan
is expected to be from autumn 2006 to early 2007.
This community center was built by church volunteers whose house of worship
was destroyed by Kobe earthquake in 1995. Materials were donated by a number
of companies, and construction was completed in only five weeks by the
160 volunteers. The plan(10 x 15m) is enclosed within a skin of corrugated,
polycarbonate sheeting. Within this, 58 paper tubes (325mm in diameter,
14.8mm thick, and 5m high), were placed in an elliptical pattern. The eclipse
is based on those in Berninifs church designs, and the space between the
eclipse and the outer edge of rectangular-shaped site formed a corridor
and provided lateral support. At the entrance to the eclipse, the spacing
of the paper tubes was widened, and the facade fully glazed to form a continuous,
unified space between the interior and exterior.
