japanese wood joinery meets 3D printing at kei atsumi's dubai design week pavilion

"There are over 900 unique pieces in this pavilion, each with a different shape and curve. This complexity is only possible with computational design," says architect Kei Atsumi.
"You can really feel the Japanese spirit as you enter. And once inside the tea house, you're transported into the future, with the Burj Khalifa at the front and the Japanese garden behind," says Kei Atsumi.
