Temporary Tea House
When I read the assignment, I saw that this tea house will be removed after 7 years. To promote sustainable behavior and to make repurposing of building materials easier, I decided to build this with only standard materials in their standard sizes. After doing some research, I found out that sheet material usually has the same dimensions, namely 2440 x 1220 mm, and I decided to make a grid using those sizes. One every grid intersection is a column, and within those columns are different kinds of dividers: curtains, doors, windows, walls… This system continued to the exterior of the building, forming a close connection to the greenery of the garden, for it to be enjoyed by all visitors.
