The “Glass Tea House Mondrian” by Hiroshi Sugimoto is inspired by pre-modern abstraction, as perfected by Sen no Rikyû, in the Japanese tradition of the tea ceremony.
The pavilion consists of two main elements, an open-air landscape courtyard and an enclosed glass cube. The landscape courtyard (40m long and 12.5m wide) follows a path along a reflecting pool leading the visitor to a glass cube (2.5mx2.5m).
The long reflecting pool, made of the glass mosaics at the centre of the landscape courtyard, represents the other main feature of the installation; it leads the visitor to the key area of the pavilion – the glass tea house.
The “Glass Tea House Mondrian” is an innovative project that provides a space in which to experience architecture, where the pavilion itself becomes the exhibition, an innovative example in which the artist freely suggests a theme and a project, allowing experimentation with the setting, shapes, building techniques and innovative materials.
