The Warp: Regenerative Wood Design Series

This 3D printed wooden teahouse pavilion was created as an exhibit for Dubai Design Week 2024, combining the traditional Japanese woodworking technique of tsugite with cutting-edge 3D printing technology.
It is made up of approximately 900 lightweight curved panels made from wood resin made from upcycled wood powder produced during wood processing. Each component can be shipped by air as a standard parcel and can be joined by hand without the use of nails, metal fittings or adhesives, so no specialized skills are required and assembly and disassembly can be done on site in a short time. Its modular design makes it adaptable to a variety of environments and uses, and it is one example of efforts aimed at realizing a sustainable, recycling-oriented society.

It is made up of approximately 900 3D printed panels, each with a different shape.
The filament (a resin material used for molding when printing building components with a 3D printer) is made from wood powder produced during the sawing process.

Visitors pass through the garden and enter through the "Nijiriguchi" entrance. They are enveloped in a wooden space with organic curves.
High-precision joints eliminate the need for metal fittings during assembly and disassembly.
