Project: Wood Pavilion
Architect: Suo Fojimoto
Year Of Completion: 2006
Place: Kumatato, Japan
This Project was conceived by stacking 350 mm square lumber blocks. It is an extremely versatile material, which is differentiated according to functions in an ordinary wooden architecture. Columns, beams, foundations, exterior walls, floorings, insulations, stairs, etc. However, the architect wanted to create architecture by one rule that fulfils all of these functions. A creation of new spatiality was envisioned that preserves the primitive conditions of a harmonious entity before various roles and functions are differentiated. There are no separations of floor, wall, and ceiling here. A place that once thought a floor becomes a chair, a ceiling, a wall from various positions. The floor levels are relative, and spatiality is perceived differently according to one's position. Here, people are distributed three-dimensionally in the space. This is a place like an amorphous landscape with a new experience of various sense of distances. Inhabitants discover, rather than being prescribed, various functionalities in the convolutions. It doesn’t fit the category of traditional wooden architecture.
