Productivity is mainly sought after in town development in modern society.

With this, the number of instant products and packaged towns are growing and equalized sceneries are often seen. If we depend on distributions too much, we will see less things that are unique to the area and everyone is now living in the same lifestyle no matter where they are. Because of these social changes, diversity and cultural differences in each area which were once there are disappearing.

Sceneries and cultures are significantly affected by the local climate, vegetation and organisms living in the area. These are the visible life itself which are created as byproducts of shaping the living activities with locality.

In this project, 2 places in a residential area are used as exhibition venues. In the first place, a vacant plot, a site of mining dug up manually to collect earth is disclosed as remains.
