Description

After the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, many experts and architects supported the reconstruction effort. The lifestyles, landscapes, and housing cultures of villages have been los t. Some researchers and local governments have employed 2D maps and figures to visualize shared memories. The reproduction of one building is, nevertheless, insufficient to reproduce entire settlements. One must also realize that the detailed modeling of whole villages requires manpower. The present study discusses the reconstruction of six villages in 3D using CityEngine, which can handle large amounts of data through procedural techniques. Based on interviews with local people, aerial photographs prior to the tsunami, and field surveys of surviving villages, the typologies of environmental factor of the villages were developed, as for example typical houses or t ide prevention trees. At workshops that use 3D models, residents can remember more details and a ctively participate in the reconstruction project. One resident started a virtual guide tour of the village and spoke of the location of symbolic trees, vending machines, watchtowers, and so on. Once we create this archive, it will be very useful for furth er regional planning and preserving the memories of residents and their children
