Hamawaki relocated the communal game into urban space of a stark depopulated japanese town Nakanojo, transformed it into a participatory aesthetic experience for collectively exploring and reactivating the town and its inhabitants through the search for numbers.

Beneath Tomelloso lies a 2,000-cave labyrinth at risk of collapse. While others suggested filling them with concrete, we chose resilience. Using recycled materials and traditional masonry, we stabilized the ground with sculptural brick arches. This project merges geology and architecture to protect a vulnerable community, proving that even hidden, hazardous voids can be transformed into sustainable monuments of safety, heritage, and beauty.
