Kengo Kuma Architects
Installation at Royal Academy of Arts
Seven architecture firms were invited to create site specific installations at the Royal Academy of Arts, that would engage the viewers to fully experience space through their different senses. It is different from many other architecture exhibitions, in that it does not display flat drawings (plans, sections...etc) of the work but the actual three dimensional forms themselves, giving viewers true experience through encounter with the form, touch, sound, lighting, proportions and so on.
Kengo Kuma's design incorporates multiple bamboo strips woven with another to create pyramid-like structure. The thin materials and the minimal lighting create a ghostly frame presence in the room that people could walk into. Another main emphasis was to engage the sense of smell in the experience and in this case the "experiencers" could smell faint wafts of bamboo.
