FRAMING KAWADA
This is a woodwork installation I designed & built as a team of architecture students from all over Asia during The Asian Architecture Student Summer Workshop 2019 in Sabae, Japan. The task was to build a welcoming installation for tourists who are coming to the area and to the guesthouse/information center where the installation is located. This installation was designed to create a vista of the signature view of the region and frame it. From researching, designing, and assemblying, the whole process took around a whole week.

Japanese method to arrange and
The installation was designed to be able to be climbed on so we made enough to withstand heavy loads.
