the main pavilion is a communal space that is meant to bring people together, to gather and interact with one another. with the increasing amount of people living in apartments in urban areas, homes have become uniform and monotonous. the aim of the sukima project is to provide more primitive, free and prosperous housing which connects to nature and awakens the five senses.
