Porous Manifold Japanese Tearoom by fujiki studio

I like this project because it is not only an art installation but it can interact with people. The architects wanted to create a feeling of breathing when guests entered the space. the many holes or ‘breathing pleats’ open and close according to the movement of people in the hut. this geometry references the creation of a more heterogeneous space. by employing the geometry of a vornoi division, the initially homogenous space gets distorted by the different irregularities creating the bubble-like pattern.
