Folded-Plate Hut in Osaka

by pleatfarmer on December 21, 2009

Constructed for the Aqua Metropolis Osaka 2009, the Folded Plate Hut is one of the many temporary structures conceived by Ryuichi Ashizawa Architects and located at Nakanoshima Park in Osaka. The origami-inspired hut which hosted concerts and theatrical events, consists of folded wood panels with a dramatically-cantilevering roof, and is perched at the edge of the waterfront.

The rest of the complex lies a Bamboo Forest – a series of structures made from curved bamboo that acts as a floating roof covering.
