Hakone Pavilion, Hakone, Japan.

A new pavilion for the Hakone Open-Air Museum, Forest of Net is a 350sq.m. volume by piling up more than 500 timber logs. It's designed by Tezuka Architects. While lagging a space for kids for many years, the Hakone Open-Air Museum's commissioned Tezuka Architects of building the Forest of Net is a much needed project. A space for kids, the structure is a feat of engineering that utilizes traditional interlocking architecture instead of metal parts.
Cutting-edge structural analysis has been employed to overcome the variability that characterizes timber. While employing traditional wood joints Tezuka Architects has searched for a futuristic form,which should result in a completely new type of architecture. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Hakone Open-Air Museum, a colourful hand-knitted net of nylon rope was installed by sculptor Horiuti Noriko with collaboration of Takaharu Tezuka & Yui Tezuka of Tezuka Architects.
