Designed by Kengo Kuma for the 2004 Shizuoka International Garden and Horticulture Exhibition in Hamamatsu, the pavilion features a regular grid of suspended bamboo sticks blending visually together into a veil that provides the temporary structure with a subtle yet very superficial physical presence.
Like many buildings in Kengo Kuma’s vast portfolio, this design displaying’s the best of Japanese simplicity and effortless chic, with its blend of natural materials against industrial form. The arrangement of bamboo sticks echoes similarities to the Starbucks designed by Kuma (Seen in previous review).
