We created the pavilion \u201cDomino 3.0 \/ Generated Living Structure\u201d at Venice Architecture Biennale 2025.<\/p>\n

This pavilion was created at the Arsenale venue as a Special Project selected by the curator.
\nWe are participating in this international exhibition as a joint team of SEKISUI HOUSE – KUMA LAB + Kengo Kuma & Associates + Matsuo-Iwasawa LAB UTokyo + Ejiri Structural Engineers.<\/p>\n

The pavilion will be exhibited on-site from May 10, 2025, to November 23, 2025.<\/p>\n

For the Venice Biennale International Architecture Exhibition 2025, held under the overarching theme of AI, we presented Domino 3.0: a house to return to the forest.
\nThe material was timber from trees uprooted and devastated by Storm Vaia in October 2018 \u2014 trees left to decay on the forest floor.
\nEach fallen tree was fully 3D-scanned, then reassembled with the assistance of AI to integrate seamlessly into the natural environment while maintaining structural integrity.
\nSoft joints \u2014 flexible, responsive to movement, and freely transformable \u2014 were created using 3D printing and embedded into the branches. These allowed the trees to be gently interconnected, forming a living, adaptive structure.
\nThe project attempts to question society by using actual trees to propose that cutting-edge technology does not exist to keep humans away from nature but enables humans to return to nature.<\/p>\n
