Tezuka Architects | Forest of Hakone Net: A Wooden House for a Textile

A wooden building constructed entirely without metal connectors: over five hundred thick logs interlock using traditional Japanese wood joinery, forming a three-dimensional lattice without a regular column grid, with a roof covering it. The building's sole purpose is to suspend the central hand-crocheted colorful giant net. The log sections are massive, their surfaces retaining tool marks; the complexity of the structure contrasts with the softness of the net. Light falls from the roof and side openings, passing through the net's colors to cast colorful light spots on the wooden structure and the ground. Surrounded by the forests of Hakone. Wide-angle interior shot, showing both the density of the wooden structure and the colors of the net. Avoid: using metal connectors, regular arrangement of wooden structures, machine-made net, adding artificial lighting indoors.

一座完全不使用金屬接合件的木造建築:五百多根粗大的原木以傳統的木組工法互相咬合,構成一個沒有柱網規則的立體格架,屋頂在其上覆蓋。建築的存在只有一個目的——把中央那件手工鉤織的彩色巨網懸吊起來。原木的斷面粗大、表面保留刀痕,結構的複雜與網的柔軟形成對比。光從屋頂與側面的開口落下,穿過網的色彩在木構與地面上留下彩色的光斑。周圍為箱根的樹林。室內廣角拍攝,木構的密度與網的色彩同時可見。避免:使用金屬接頭、木構排列規則、網改為機器製、室內加設人工照明。
