It is a summary of the exhibition Crossing. This exhibition is dedicated to the vicitms and survivors of the China Sichuan earthquake that took place on 12 May, 2008. The overall exhibition indeed blurred the borders between art and architecture, bringing in utility, functionality and emergency as central themes. Some of the participating architects showcased projects that have already been proven to “work” in real disaster situations. The “Sandbag Shelter” developed by CAL-Earth/Nader Khalili is based on Superadobe technology: by putting the materials of war (sandbags and barbed wire) to peaceful ends, it integrates traditional earth architecture with contemporary global safety requirements. Having built his paper tube house for victims of the earthquakes in Japan (1995), Turkey (1999) and India (2001), Japanese architect Shigeru Ban (together with Matsubara Lab and Southwest Jiaotong University) built the Hualin elementary school shortly after last year's earthquake; they constructed one of the classrooms in full scale for the exhibition. Peruvian architect Leondelima build the “Teatina Quincha shelter,” an architectural prototype made of bamboo, formally and organizationally inspired by traditional architectural elements of the Peruvian desert coast.
