CLARA TERESA

AWARE Pavilion,2024
Inspired by haiku, become a haijin. 
Everything could be poetic matter.
A pavilion to drink the rain. Wash your hands. See, listen, and feel.
Thanks to Kigumi assembly — the traditional Japanese method of joining wood — 
the pavilion can be relocated to enter into a dialogue with each new setting. 
The shōji not only frame the landscape but also reveal the immediacy of the moment, 
whether it is the sunlight, the rain, or the season or the season, as well as clarify the sounds

Pavilion sketch
The structure of the space references the structure of a haiku
3 lines + 17 syllables/3 shōji + 17 separators
2 stations -> Soap and cups
Working model — Intended to test the environment's response to natural light, the framing
of exterior landscapes at different sites, and the kusari-doi (chain mechanism for rain water)
Digital Art representation of the space 
The movable structure of the shōji allows light to enter directly.
This creates an active dynamic for the individual and makes it possible to produce sharpshadows and receive 
the direct stimulus of warmth, whileproviding the opportunity to reveal the exterior landscape.
Direct light, filtered by the shōji, creates shifting patterns of shadows and highlights through the texture of the paper, 
generating a soft and serene atmosphere while fostering a more intimate connection with the visitor.
