The hut, or mak, is one of the oldest forms of shelter, characterized by its simplicity and responsiveness to site conditions. Contemporary architecture often neglects environmental connections, leading to urban spaces that are dense and disconnected. There is a pressing need for gaps, or teum, in cities to reintroduce natural elements. The concept of Teummak merges the idea of a gap with that of a hut, suggesting a new openness in urban life, allowing for a more harmonious relationship between architecture and its surroundings.
The hut (mak, ) is one of humanity's earliest forms of shelter, a simple structure made of a roof and ground, often without walls, shaped by and responsive to the site's conditions.
Contemporary architecture tends to disregard its environment, contributing to cities filled with dense and disconnected spaces.
What we now need is a gap (teum, ) within our cities, where natural elements can once again be felt.
Teummak, combining teum (gap) and mak (hut), proposes a new kind of openness in urban life.
