Kengo kuma suspends woven bamboo canopy above kyoto craft center
August 23
A lightweight roof brings shade and movement to a restored urban courtyard.
The craft center is organized around an existing courtyard covered by a woven bamboo canopy. Thin strips overlap in alternating directions, creating a surface that filters sun and moves slightly with the wind. Workshops and galleries open directly onto this shared space, allowing making, teaching and exhibition to overlap. The intervention is intentionally light, preserving the scale and material character of the historic buildings around it.
