flexible & responsive architecture
Kengo Kuma Teahouse
'Kengo Kuma uses the term “weak architecture”. His teahouse does not rise up from the ground as a fixed wooden construction, but unfolds as an airborne ephemeral structure. When a ventilation system is activated, the teahouse swells into shape like a white textile blossom. In its interior, comprising a surface of approximately twenty square metres, are nine tatami mats, an electric stove for the water kettle, and a preparation room. Integrated LED technology allows the use of the teahouse at night; the interior can be heated by way of the membrane.’

Softshelter by Molo
Canadian studio Molo has designed a system of paper partitions that provide privacy at shelters in the wake of a disaster.
Softshelter is a system for creating personal space within a larger shelter area in order to provide individuals and families with a sense of privacy and encourage community-building in the days following a disaster. Softshelter is part of molo’s ongoing research-driven exploration of materials, fabrication techniques and space-making with a focus on enhancing common daily ritual and flexible use of space. The walls are joined together by detachable magnetic panels and therefore require only a few people to assemble with minimal instructions and no tools. Like an accordion, the kraft paper walls can expand and contract until they meet the edge of another wall. Each flat-packed unit can arrive at the shelter ready for immediate set-up.
Kiss by Z-A Studio
Pop-up shops might be commonplace in retail but would you consider getting married in a pop-up chapel made of cardboard? The structure was designed and assembled in under a week to celebrate the recently passed Marriage Equality Act of New York, which legalises same-sex marriage in the state.

Tea House for Robots by Rootoftwo
The ‘tea house’ structure conforms to the traditional dimensions of a Japanese tea house of 9’ x 9’ x 6′, the space provides a series of interactions between user and space, space and robots. The tea house “eyes” are driven by the OMRON Smile Scan. The Smile Scan uses OMRON’s OKAO Vision face-sensing technology. This technology relies on facial data gathered from over 1 million people, accumulated through over 10 years of study of the human face. The system measures the degree of a person’s smile from a camera-recorded facial image based on key point movements from 0% to 100%. In THR_33 this percentage controls how much the tea house “eyes” open. The tea house skin was laser cut and ‘stitched’ together. The skin is made from 2 layers of precisely cut synthetic paper pieces that interlock with each other.
