This theatre has a relationship to Japanese tradition and culture, in a way that is a playhouse. It gives a formal impression of something original or new, seen from both inside and outside because it is formally and conceptually unusual.
Portable Architecture - Construction / build up
Because the theatre was to be moveable, the main structure is an assemblage of pipes used in scaffolding, scaffolding is very functional. The shape of its individual members is dictated by its functionality and efficiency, anyone can put it together. The members are pipes 48.6mm in diameter and 2mm thick. The longest are 9 meters long. Twenty-five thousand ready-made clamps are used, the members are held together solely by frictional force.
The pipes can be assembled in fifteen days. Moreover, there is no need to transport building materials, with the exception of certain special parts. Practically everything is available locally. If one has the drawings and instructions the building can be easily put together anywhere. By reducing architecture to information, it is possible to transmit a building anywhere in the world.
