Yasmeen Almuhanna: Looking Out, Week 9

Taking his inspiration from bamboo baskets, Kengo Kuma wraps a cake shop in a 3d wooden lattice. The bamboo pieces are angled at 30 and 60 degrees and do not use any glue or screws to hold together.
Apparently Kuma got his inspiration after he and his team went into the woods and studied how lighting would change within am organic landscape with multiple layers. Personally I think it's a tad too much..
