The word permeable is our primary motivation to conceive this structure. Our objective is to continue the dialog between interior and exterior, transparency and opacity, already approached on our previous work. Through Japanese architecture references, we aim to shape an organic structure that leads the observer to a path defined by plays of masses and void. Through a wavy slatted wood structure, we propose to frame different moments of the path, offering it logics of transparency and opacity. The work of Kengo Kuma and the way he frames the landscape in houses like the Bamboo House and the Lotus House help us understanding this intention. As so, the preexistence in our organic unit, a central nucleus surrounded by benches, participate in the composition.
