Veneti-An Tea House / Arabi-An Tea House

"Veneti-An Tea House" and "Arabi-An Tea House" are a series of tea houses that are the world's first to use food waste as part of their structure, and were unveiled at the "TIME, SPACE, EXISTENCE" exhibition held in conjunction with the Venice Biennale in 2023 and Dubai Design Week.
We developed a globally deployable form-generation algorithm that creates comfortable spaces by controlling solar radiation based on the latitude of each region. We also created a pavilion that is "100% returnable to the soil" by refining building materials from food waste unique to each region of the world.
All of the small building materials can be packed into a suitcase, allowing for self-transport and construction, which contributes to reducing CO2 emissions during transportation. This is an approach that combines "global and local" and "resource circulation."
