The Design

About Artificial Topography Kunstig Topografi

Store møbler som en hule Dette er det prisvindende projekt, der vandt Grand Prize of Art i Container International Competition. Min idé er at udhule lydstyrken inde i en container for at bygge et amorft rum som en hule. Det er kun lavet af plastmateriale. Cirka 1000 ark af det bløde plastmateriale med en tykkelse på 10 mm blev skåret i konturlinjeform og blev lamineret som stratum. Dette er ikke kun kunst, men også store møbler. Fordi alle dele er bløde som en sofa, og en person, der kommer ind i dette rum, kan slappe af ved at finde det sted, der er egnet til formen af sin egen krop.

Unique Properties
Big Furniture Like a Cave
This is the award-winning project won the Grand Prize of Art in Container International Competition. My idea is to hollow out the volume inside a container in order to build amorphous space like a cave. It is made of only plastic material. About 1000 sheets of the soft plastic material of 10-mm thickness were cut down in contour line form and were laminated like stratum. This is not only art but also big furniture. Because all the portions are soft like a sofa, and person who enter into this space can relax by finding the place suitable for the form of its own body.
Dimensions & Packaging
It was spaced out across the shipping container's 40-foot length to create.
Width 2400mm x Depth 6000mm x Height 2400mm

Research
I am a great interest in nature especially the system of nature. Two years ago, my exhibition held in England. In the exhibition, a lot of experimental architectural projects and the execution works in each category that I obtained the inspiration from nature such as “Solar”, “Air”, ”Water”, ”Ground”, “Crystal”, “Biological”, “Flower”, and “Aurora” were exhibited. Because these aimed to approach “Nature” more closely, it was named “Nature-oriented Architecture”.
And therefore, this “Artificial Topography” is the recent project of the Nature-oriented Architecture as “Ground” category.

Project Duration
This was exhibited during from October 1st to November 23rd in Kobe Biennial 2011 in Japan
Operation Flow
Person who enter into this space can relax by finding the place suitable for the form of its own body.
