About Porous Manifold Salón De Té Xaponés

Este é un salón de té xaponés temporal exposto na Echigo-tsumari Art Triennale 2018 e ten unha estrutura aniñada cun espazo de dous tatami incrustado nun cadrado de dez metros. Nesta exposición pedíselles aos arquitectos que respondan ao tema de como superar o concepto de espazo homoxéneo que dominaba no século XX. O esqueleto foi deseñado usando o patrón aleatorio que se chamou División de Voronoi para distorsionar o espazo homoxéneo. E propúxose que a arquitectura cunha gran cantidade de buratos puidese abrirse e pecharse segundo fose necesario para comunicarse co exterior como un ser vivo.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: This is a temporary Japanese tearoom and a nested structure with two-tatami space embedded in ten foot square.
In this exhibition, architects were asked to respond to the theme of how to overcome the concept of homogeneous space which was dominant in the 20th century. It is distorted homogeneous space to create irregularities by the random pattern of the skeleton and proposed an art-tecture with many holes which are open and close as necessary to communicate with the outside like living things.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width, Depth and Height are 2730mm each.
This dimension was called a "Jo" in the old words in Japan.

Production Technology: It is made of a hybrid of spruce CLT panels and plastic materials processed using digital fabrication technology.
Design Challenge: Modern office buildings made in the 20th century are separated from the external environment by a closed curtain wall. Then, using the lighting and air conditioning equipment, it is idea to control so that all places are homogenous and constant environment artificially. However, we need enormous energy, which is a major factor of global environmental problems.
It is important not to block the external environment and the internal space, but to open and close as necessary, that is, to create a building responsive to the external environment. Then it was created a living-like architecture.
Research: Towards the generation of "heterogeneous space", we studied from a point of geometrical viewpoint.
Homogeneous space is geometrically equivalent to 3D Euclidean space. The biggest problem of homogeneous space is that our imagination is captured by it, but in order to overcome this, it is necessary to extend the concept of homogeneous space rather than deny it. Just as Einstein discovered, it is important to introduce a structure that "space is distorted".
It is distorted homogeneous space to create irregularities using random patterns found in various shapes and phenomena in nature (VORONOI DIVISION).
Inspiration: Inspired by Hojoki ("An Account of My Hut"), written in the Middle Ages, to survive in our troubled times, about thirty groups of architects and artists selected through the open call (Jury: Hiroshi Hara, Ryue Nishizawa, Fram Kitagawa) exhibited their "hojo" (ten foot square hut) which represented their worldviews.
In this exhibition, architects were especially asked to respond to the theme of how to overcome the concept of homogeneous space which was dominant in the 20th century.
Project Duration: This work was exhibited in "Hojoki Shiki in 2018: The Universe of Ten Foot Square Huts by Architects and Artists" as a special exhibition during from July 29th to September 17th in Echigo-tsumari Art Triennale 2018, Niigata Pref. in Japan.
In the present day, the global Financial capitalism has an impact on all regions, which have been required to accept the improved efficiency, rationalization and homogenization. This exhibition was an opportunity for the architects and artists to present their own Hojoki Shiki, proposing different "hojo", the minimum model of Japanese architecture.
Operation Flow: As you enter inside, this art-tecture (architecture) feels you and begins to breathe like a living thing.
Specifically to say, many holes called BREATHING PLEATS start opening and closing according to the movement of people.
