Kengo Kuma’s Teahouse is a masterly reinterpretation of a classical Japanese building type. Kuma’s innovative structure in flexible semi-transparent ‘breathing’ Tenara-Membrane is inflated by means of a pneumatic system to a blossom-like form that houses in the interior all the classical elements for Japanese tea ceremony.
