From October 28 to November 3, Noto Resilience and Revitalization Center held the "City of Memory Workshop in Suzu?Jike" at the Ohama Community Center in the Jike area of Misaki Town, Suzu City. This workshop is an initiative of the "Lost Town Model Restoration Project" which was started as an earthquake reconstruction assistance activity, in which architecture students create a 1/500 scale diorama model of the area before the disaster and recreate the streets of their hometown with local residents.
In seven-day workshop, co-hosted with the Kobe University Disaster Mitigation Design Center, worked together students from Kanazawa University, Kobe University, and Waseda University. The workshop was attended by over 300 visitors, who helped to create a colorful five-meter-long model of the streetscape of the disaster-stricken Jike area.
Visitors to the venue commented: "I'm glad that the old town has been faithfully reproduced" and "I was reminded of the cityscape of my hometown"
