Introducing Astaka, Discover one pavilion at a time. In celebration there is discovery and through discovery there is knowledge.
Astaka is a pavilion derived from a specific joinery of the traditional Malay House, Rumah Melayu. Tanggam, which is a jointing system that provides sustainability, durability and dynamic stability. This type of joinery, Tanggam, is less complicated and more durable.
The pavilion is modelled in a modular repetitive form which is made of simple mortise and tenon joint connecting two pieces of wood. Rotating the joint along different axis allows each joint to connect with each other in a unique way which creates the structure of the pavilion.
This approach overcomes the use of steel in timbre joints which does not sit happily over time, rusting & capturing moisture.
This form, being made modular, allows it to be interactive, and easily available for any individual, to own, to experiment and to discover. One pavilion at a time.
