‘GENSAI’ refers to the mitigation of damage or casualties caused by disasters. This competition has been held annually since 2011, seeking ideas and designs to promote ‘GENSAI’, the disaster mitigation. For this 10th year, the theme is “Gensai design in the age of living with COVID-19”, given that our world is now facing this crisis from the viewpoint of disaster mitigation.

This event’s aim is to raise a discussion about a new group within the Cumulus Association, created by and for students and people involved in education: CirroCumulus. Even though students are the largest group inside Cumulus, they are frequently less involved in its events. This new group enables people involved in education, including students, to come together and share their vision, expertise, research and exploration.
