项目坐落于斯里兰卡本托特 (Bentota)，由隈研吾事务所设计搭建，旨在纪念斯里兰卡建筑师Jeffery Bawa诞辰100周年。

KKAA was asked to design a pavilion for the centenary celebration of Sri Lankan architect Geoffery Bawa’s birth.

KITHUL-AMI纪念亭采用了一种常见于斯里兰卡传统手工艺中的本地藤本植物Kithul作为材料，以隐喻Bawa作品的柔和度，同时彰显出Bawa根植于自然与斯里兰卡本土文化的建筑理念。Kithul藤蔓与金属网的结合，赋予了纪念亭植物的自然质感，同时保证了结构的坚固性与耐用性。

By using a local vine called Kithul, often used in Sri Lankan traditional craft, we tried to achieve the softness of Bawa’s architecture and showcase concretely the fact that his individuality is rooted in the nature and culture of Sri Lanka. The pavilion is a hybrid structure of Kithul and steel mesh, providing a botanical materiality, while at the same time being very durable.

在设计的过程中，建筑师尽量避免了直线与锐角，而是采用连续流畅的连接面，从而创造出一种无定式的柔和形态。这种形态既富有向心力，同时营造出温暖的氛围，使纪念亭宛如一条缎带，轻柔地环抱住中央的人们。“缎带”的几何形态严格按照单曲面的收缩规律形成。借助物理模拟软件，以预先设计好的空间曲线为中心，将展开的表面向内收缩，最终得到了这种如流体般灵活的纪念亭三维几何形态。

Morphologically we avoided sharpness and rectilinearity as much as possible; instead we searched for an amorphous form in the language of a continuous ribbon. This yielded a gently centralized monument, surrounding and embracing the people inside. The geometry of the ribbon meets a fabrication constraint of a ‘single-curved surface’. Using physics-simulation software, this fluid and flexible 3D geometry is reverse-engineered from the pre-determined unrolled surface.
