![]() ![]() Indeed, the full-scale, self-build prototype of ‘Tsuginote Tea House’ is demonstrated without glue or metal fittings. When 3D printing and ancestral wood joining combineĬonstruction-wise, each of the 3D-printed pieces can be assembled by anyone without prior building knowledge and without any tools or additions. The ability to translate digital models into physical objects, whose mechanical behavior could be directly evaluated, was a real asset from the outset and a considerable time saver.‘ ‘This stage of research and geometric composition was supported by partial prototypes prior to prototyping a complete structure at a 1:1 scale, made possible by investment in 3D printers. ‘ The first stage of research applied to architecture and constructive systems was largely inspired and fueled by traditional Japanese Tsugite and Shiguchi assembly systems for frame structures,’ Kei Atsumi and Nicholas Préaud (see more here) share with designboom. Beyond optimizing a traditional technique, Atsumi and Préaud also looked to new sustainable uses for discarded wood materials through wood-based PLA filament found in all construction elements. The exhibition highlighted the finalized construction and the assembly process, whereby 900+ unique 3D-printed and double-curved pieces were assembled easily and with high precision thanks to an innovative patented joint system. ![]() This small pavilioncrystalizes three years of research on 3D printing technology and its application in common-use architecture, particularly in ancestral Japanese woodjoinery. In April 2023, architects Kei Atsumi and Nicholas Préaud unveiled their ‘Tsuginote Tea House’ at the Kanazawa Shrine in Japan. ![]() ‘tsuginote tea house’ by kei atsumi and nicholas préaud ![]()
