Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is Everyplan's 'Circulatory Architecture'?
- A: It is defined as a 'sustainable space' that can be repeatedly repaired and maintained using natural materials and human hands, referring to traditional Japanese architecture known as kominka.
- Q: Why aim for the world starting from Shimane Prefecture?
- A: Because Shimane Prefecture ranks first in the country for the proportion of kominka and has preserved genuine, beautiful streetscapes integrated with people's lives, serving as a pioneering example of a circulatory society.
- Q: Can ordinary people participate?
- A: Yes. We provide opportunities for people to get involved in home building with a DIY spirit, making kominka an 'editable space' rather than a black box.
