STRUCTURE OF SHORT-TERM BUILDING BASED ON THE THEME OF REDUCTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Abstract

The Hokkaido Toyako Summit was held in July 2008, and the international media center (IMC) was constructed. IMC was used in a short term for the Summit and dismantled afterwards. For reduction of environmental impact, non-waste of structural materials of IMC was aimed, and reuse and recycle were executed completely as a result.
This paper describes a series of structural approach in designing, constructing, and dismantling of IMC.
