| DESIGN NAME: The Chakai PRIMARY FUNCTION: Exhibition INSPIRATION: The tea ceremony is not only a ritual of tea, but also a way to entertain guests with tea. The guest is also a part of the creation of the tea ceremony. We design the tea ceremony room for this mentality. The rule we decided on was to use Japanese materials but not to assemble them in a Japanese way. The tea ceremony room is constructed of veneer plywood made of rush, the material used for tatami, and a cloth soaked with images that change interactively to create a psychological boundaries. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Tango Chirimen, soaked in images projected by projection mapping, is used as a psychological barrier. The extremely thin fabric sways with the slightest air movement, and sensors embedded in the fabric react interactively to the movement of the fabric. The floor is made of an original material called "IGUSA-faced plywood", made by gluing rush grass that would have been discarded because it was too long to fit into a tatami loom onto plywood. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Sensors embedded in the tango crepe detect and quantify the shaking of the cloth, and by incorporating these values into video and music programs, the images and sounds can be changed interactively. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project took place from October 18, 2024 to October 27, 2024 in Tokyo, Japan. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: We used Tango Chirimen imbued with projection-mapped images as a boundary. Sensors embedded in the tango crepe detect the slightest swaying of the cloth and respond interactively The floor is made of decorative plywood made from rush grass from the wada family in kumamoto, which could not fit into the tatami loom because it was not long enough and had to be disposed of.
