Daniel Ha: Looking Out Week 4

Wooden Modular Pavilion for the Kyushu Geibunkan Museum in Fukuoka, Japan
Architect: Kengo Kuma

     This piece was made using local cedar wood and recycled chip wood. On top of that, it was constructed without the use of any screws or glue. Since it isn't held in one place by screws or glue, the pieces that make up this pavilion can be re positioned so that more sun or wind can come through the structure. That's how wood should be used, undisturbed so that it can continue to be manipulated by us or morphed by itself (expanding, contracting, going upside down or right side up).
