The Design
About Artificial Topography A Topografia Artificial
Móveis grandes como uma caverna Este é o projeto premiado que ganhou o Grande Prêmio de Arte no Concurso Internacional de Contêineres. Minha ideia é esvaziar o volume dentro de um recipiente para construir um espaço amorfo como uma caverna. É feito apenas de material plástico. Cerca de 1000 folhas do material plástico macio de 10 mm de espessura foram cortadas na forma de linha de contorno e foram laminadas como estrato. Isso não é apenas arte, mas também móveis grandes. Porque todas as porções são macias como um sofá, e quem entra neste espaço pode relaxar encontrando o local adequado à forma do seu próprio corpo.

- 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.

- 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. - Inspiration
- Nature
- 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.
