About Artificial Topography O Le Faʻailoaina O Faʻailoga
Big Furniture Pei o se Cave Ole poloketi lea na manumalo ai na mauaina le Grand Prize of Art in Container International Competition. O loʻu manatu o le faʻiga o se mea i totonu o se koneteina ina ia mafai ona fausia nofoaga faʻapitoa e pei o se ana. E faia na o mea palasitika. E tusa o le 1000 laupepa o mea vaivai palasitika o 10-mm mafiafia na tipiina i lalo i le laina laina ma sa lamalama e pei o le stratum. E le gata i lea o se taleni aʻo ni fale tetele. Talu ai o vaega uma e vaivai e pei o se sofa, ma le tagata e ulufale atu i totonu o lenei avanoa mafai ona malolo e ala i le mauaina o le nofoaga talafeagai mo le ituaiga o lona lava tino.

About the A' Design Award Platinamu
O le A' Design Award Platinamu na manumalo ai Artificial Topography O Le Faʻailoaina O Faʻailoga, o se faamaoniga matuā mamalu e tuuina atu i mamanu e moni lava ona ese, matagofie ma mataʻina. O ē manumalo i le Platinamu o mea ofoofogia o le faatufugaga, o molimau o tapulaʻa o le mafaufau fatufatuaʻi, ma e faaalia ai le tomai faapolofesa e le mafaatusalia ma le atamai o tagata mamanu. E faamoemoeina nei mamanu e avea ma galuega sili ona lauiloa e faamatalaina ai le matagofie o le vaitaimi, saunoa i le manuia o le sosaiete ma tuleia atu tapulaʻa o le faatufugaga, saienisi, mamanu ma tekonolosi. Artificial Topography O Le Faʻailoaina O Faʻailoga e faaalia ai se tulaga maoaʻe o le lelei ma e leai se mea e fesiligia, e faia ai e le lalolagi se nofoaga e sili atu ona lelei i ona uiga aogā ma taua. Artificial Topography O Le Faʻailoaina O Faʻailoga o se galuega na manumalo i le A' Design Award Platinamu e fafagu ai manaʻoga, faaosofia, faaoloa ai le fiafia, ma tupu ai le fiafia tele.

- 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.
