KENGO KUMA Oribe Tea House Pavilion, Japan 2005
A temporary, mobile tea room. Corrugated plastic boards 5mm thick are arrayed at 65mm intervals and fixed together using banding bands. Once the bands are unfastened, the tea room returns to an assembly of cheap elements, making it easy to move. The entire form resembles an irregularly-shaped cocoon, and is an homage to Furuta Oribe’s deformed tea ceremony bowl.
No. 187 | North Atlantic Coast | ME
The coast of the Atlantic in Maine was so peaceful and quiet it made me feel like I was staying on a lake rather than an ocean. Everything about it reminded me of sleepaway camp.
I don’t see the appeal of listening to rappers brag about how many cars they have, how many houses they own, or how many bitches they took home. And the best of all, how much money they have. Congratulations, you blew off 1 mil so fast cause you still have more money coming in. You deserve some sort of medal, wow.
