Factorials of tatami modules
As we started to translate the contextualized nature of traditional Japanese architecture into the urban context, we began to use tatami mats to define the proportions of our rooms, restricting them to a set of squares grids that combine the 3’ by 6’ tatami mat module.
Our facade, as well as our room tatami module, uses a 3’ by 6’ and a 3’ by 3’ set of tatami modules that are placed together to form a larger set of modules.
These Larger modules are then applied to a series of arithmetic variations that respond to privacy, changes in function, and an order of transition.
