Kengo Kuma s Teahouse is a masterly reinterpretation of a classical Japanese building type. Delivered in August 2007 for the Park of the Frankfurt Museum of Applied Arts (a Richard Meier Building), Kuma s innovative structure in flexible, semi-transparent, breathing Tenara-Membrane - inflated by means of a pneumatic system to a blossom-like form - houses in the interior the classical elements for Japanese tea ceremony. Integrated LED technology allows the use of the teahouse at night; the interior can be heated by way of the membrane. The monograph, including an original text by Kuma himself, gives an in-depth documentation of this lyrical temporary structure - an outstanding example of ephemeral architecture, combining poetry and technology - with many unpublished sketches, technical plans and with splendid colour photographs.

Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. Der international renommierte japanische Architekt Kengo Kuma hat fur den Park des Museums fur Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt am Main ein vollkommen neuartiges Teehaus entwickelt: eine luftgetragene Form. Durch ein Kompressorsystem aktiviert, erwachst das Teehaus wie eine Blute aus dem semitransparenten High Tech-Material GORE-Tenara, im Inneren finden Tatami-Matten, ein elektrisch beheizbarer Herd fur den Wasserkessel, eine Tokonoma Nische und ein Vorbereitungsraum Platz. Die doppelwandige Hulle mit inneren Koppelseilen erzeugt eine golfballahnliche Membrantextur und macht zudem eine Luftschleuse uberflussig. Eine integrierte LED-Technik lasst das Teehaus im Dunklen sanft, fast mythisch, erstrahlen. Dieses jungste Projekt Kumas ist ein Symbol fur die traditionsbewusste Modernitat des heutigen Japans und seiner Architektur, aber auch ein richtungsweisendes Beispiel temporaren und mobilen Bauens, das nur Dank einer ungewohnlich dichten internationalen Kooperation zwischen Architekten, Ingenieuren und Unternehmen realisiert werden konnte. Das vorliegende Buch entfaltet die technologischen, kulturhistorischen und asthetischen Aspekte dieser Neuinterpration des japanischen Teehauses. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.
