Fu-An

At the frontier between architectural installation and plastic work, this structure is composed of a traditional Japanese tatami  and tea ceremony utensils.This space floating in mid-air is a shrine devoted to contemplation and pleasure, an invitation to pause in space and time, allowing for an intimate and private experience. The veil, with its capacity to create a gap between intimacy and an outside view, reminds us of Kengo Kuma’s attachment to transparency. Fu-An is an expression of his poetic conception of architecture.

Kengo Kuma is a renowned Japanese architect, whose work is characterized by the reinterpretation of traditional Japanese elements and an architecture that communicates with its environment. He favors the use of alternatives to concrete (wood, ceramics, bamboo, vinyl).
