Lattice-Pod

Kazuya Morita, Kyoto, Japan, 2019

Scale: 1:50
Materials: plaster, wood
Type: structural
Detail: 3/7
Student: Vasily Mishchenko, HS25

A 1:50 structural study model of Kazuya Morita's Lattice-Pod, built from individually cut wood strips assembled into a layered post-and-beam lattice rising from a cast plaster base. The model foregrounds the timber structural logic: a dense, interlocking grid of rafters and columns in the upper zone contrasts with a more open colonnaded lower storey, with flat floor plates marking the transition. No cladding or enclosure is represented, making the structural hierarchy and joint accumulation the sole subject of the model.
