Kengo Kuma designs tessellated Botanical Pavilion as "tridimensional puzzle"

Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and Australian artist Geoff Nees have created a tactile, circular pavilion using timber collected from Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens.
Botanical Pavilion slots together like a puzzle without the need for metal supports.
Kuma and Nees's design was commissioned for the NGV Triennial in response to Korean artist Lee Ufan's 2017 painting named Dialogue.
The softly curving pavilion sits in front of the painting, framing it through its openings at both ends.
