Kanna Kiru — Articulated Ground

Project Overview

Kanna Kiru takes inspiration from wood shavings in Japanese carpentry. In this form-finding exercise, the process involved cutting slits of paper along a rectangular grid and folding it into itself. This birthed a park that integrates public amenities directly from the terrain: seating, tables, and shelters emerge organically. Meanwhile, the negative spaces metamorphose into tranquil ponds and lush green areas, offering a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Key Features

• Form inspired by carpentry shavings
• Terrain-integrated seating and shelters
• Negative spaces as ponds and green areas
