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.
