Tuesday Night: Tatami Architecture

De huidige tijd wordt gekenmerkt door radicale technologische, economische, culturele en sociale veranderingen. Het Nieuwe Instituut wil deze veranderende wereld in kaart brengen en zichtbaar maken en tegelijkertijd de discussie hierover bevorderen voor zowel het professionele ontwerpveld als een breder publiek.

<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN>The tatami is a Japanese floor mat with dimensions based on the human body. It is one of the four ‘platforms’ featured in the series of installations <I>Platform. Body/Space</I>. During this evening, art historian Sophie Berrebi will present the research behind <I>Platform. Body/Space </I>and professor Carola Hein will give a lecture on the history and cultural significance of the tatami.</SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN>Berrebi’s research focuses on how four ‘platforms’ – the yoga mat, beach towel, tatami and prayer rug – mediate between our bodies and the surrounding space. To coincide with the third part of the four-part series <I>Platform. Body/Space, </I>Carola Hein will discuss the historical and contemporary significance of the tatami in Japanese architecture. She will also draw associations with Western architecture. </SPAN><SPAN><A HREF="http://shofukan.nl/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><SPAN>Shofukan</SPAN></A></SPAN><SPAN> will perform a tea ceremony, allowing visitors to experience one of tatami’s traditional uses. Moderator of the Thursday Night will be Flora van Gaalen.</SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN>The tatami emerged in the twelfth century and since the eighteenth century has been used in temples and in one or more rooms in Japanese homes. But the tatami is more than just a floor covering. The dimensions of a tatami mat are based on the human body: according to legend, the tatami represents the space a Samurai needed to lay out his possessions and sleep. In Japan, houses are still measured in numbers of tatami mats. Comparisons have been made with Le Corbusier’s Modulor, although the tatami is not merely an architectural unit of measurement. Enveloped by rules and rituals, the tatami creates a specific social space, which is visible in, among other things, the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. </SPAN></P>
