0/10 by 0 users
The Japanese verb "kumu" refers to the process of crossing and interlacing materials. From the traditional Japanese architecture most often seen in shrines and temples; and the artistry of "kumiko-zaiku" decorative latticework; to the braided "kumihimo" cords used to tie kimono sashes, and more, Japan is host to numerous designs based in this approach. This time on DESIGN TALKS plus, we discuss interlaced design with architect Kengo Kuma, whose complex wooden structures incorporating traditional techniques have brought him global acclaim.
