- Type of work
- Decision-making process
- Required skills
- Acquired skills

MATERIAL REUSE
During the 2nd Cut, we identified
a structurally unstable portion. The
corner structure and roof joists of the
old hearth were extracted and kept
intact. By building a support frame
elevating it upright, the fragment was
carried onto the beach and sat atop the sea wall, becoming a guiding
lantern preceding the second Hikiya
festival.
SALVAGE DATABASE
The dismantled pieces were labeled and were carried to the abandoned school gym next door. This space serves as storage, exhibit and workshop where material can be reused. A twin digital database categorizes the parts into several factors, including size, weight, type and origin.
