The Modern Teahouse — a contemporary nomadic building
The Modern Teahouse is a small nomadic building formTL designed together with Kengo Kuma. It is used for Japanese tea ceremonies in the garden of the ”Museum für Angewandte Kunst” in Frankfurt am Main. The mattress‐like structure can be erected and taken down by just four people. The internal air pressure of this single‐chamber air house is 1500 Pa — only 1 % that of a high‐pressure beam but five times higher than a normal pneumatic structure. The Modern Teahouse ”wanders” between the entrance hall of the museum and a little hill in the museum garden. When it is not in use, it is packed away on a trolley.
