When a ventilation system is activated, the teahouse swells into shape like a white high-tech textileblossom. In its interior, comprising a surface of approximately twenty square metres, are nine tatami mats, an electric stove for the water kettle, a tokonoma niche and a preparation room. Integrated LED technology allows the use of the teahouse at night; the interior can be heated by way of the membrane.  and more stuff: kkaa1-1.jpg
