NAGOMI PAVILION – JCK 03
The Balinese people live within a series of traditional/religious ceremonies that are still very much ingrained, which during its process involves a lot of time and effort, even amidst the fast-paced rhythm of modern generations like today; the Balinese people see this as a space of ‘pause’ from their activities. All those activities are carried out voluntarily, which is called “Ngayah”.
Every type of traditional ceremony requires a specific space with limited time constraints/temporary. In this context, it demands speed during the construction process. “Tetaring” is a temporary installation predominantly made of bamboo material that is used as shelter for people engaging in activities beneath it, as well as to signify the presence of religious ceremonies. Its very simple tectonics and easily obtained material make it workable for everyone without requiring any specific skills. It is no wonder that Bali is seen to have a high value of Gotong Royong.
Now, it is not just about the end goal, individual interests, or status, instead various personalities are melded in the process of discussion, argumentation, collaboration and joy. This becomes a kind of ‘anesthetic of time’ that makes them drift away ‘in the process’.
This story is then packed into a 10x10m pavilion installation. Sheltering NAGOMI as a Japanese-inspired bathroom brand. Hinoki wood, the main material of Nagomi products, is poured into the pavilion’s construction. The ‘Contradictory’ design form between static and dynamic lines suggest the spirit of collaboration among individuals with different backgrounds blending together to achieve a common goal.
