His design was inspired by the Japanese tradition of mozenmachi, or gate towns that surround sacred shrines and temples. He sought to create a flowing and accessible community within the 9-acre, 50-year-old cultural facility where visitors could learn more about the country\u2019s respect for horticulture.<\/p>\n<p>Kuma\u2019s three pavilions for the parkland are wrapped with wood battens, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and topped with living green roofs that absorb rainwater and prevent run-off. While these materials and design decisions foster a sense of transparency and warmth within the Village, it\u2019s the metal panels by PURE + FREEFORM that really exemplify the innovation and sustainability of the design.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png?ssl=1\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1509647016735pure_freeform_3.jpeg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1509647016735pure_freeform_3.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1509647016735pure_freeform_3.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1509647016735pure_freeform_3.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1509647016735pure_freeform_3.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/1509647016735pure_freeform_3.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<\/div>\n\n<p><i>Kengo Kuma &amp; Associates specified PURE + FREEFORM\u2019s Celeste Stone finish for their custom aluminum panel system as shown on the pavilion rooftops. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>Made up of organic inks, white pearl, LUMIFLON resins and recycled materials, the resilient panels possess great flexibility. They can be used in areas subject to lots of rain and are noncombustible, non VOC and resistant to pollutants. In a city like Portland, this type of strong, high-performing material is imperative. LUMIFLON, which was developed in 1982 by Asahi Glass Company \u2014 now known as Mitsubishi Companies, is a superior type of finish that features a wide range of color options, increased depth and vibrancy. Architects like Kuma choose it for its global credibility, as well as its depth and durability.<\/p>\n<p>PURE + FREEFORM designed the panels as fully customizable metal skins, meaning that, from project to project, the panels are completely unique to the location and desired design. The company works closely with <a href=\"https:\/\/purefreeform.com\/clients\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some of the world&#8217;s top architects and developers<\/a> on site-specific interior and exterior designs, fabricating <a href=\"https:\/\/purefreeform.com\/finishes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the perfect finish<\/a> for the project\u2019s context and goals. The metal panels are lightweight, easy to install and seamless to fabricate.<\/p>\n<p>The manufacturer produces up to 100,000 square feet daily, while continually developing new and improved products. The company\u2019s tireless work in R+D helps it achieve the goal of filling the gap between accessibility, beauty and relevance within design. In short, they place equal value on both style and function. \u201cWe wanted to create a new future for metal panels,\u201d explained Geoff Hahn, Design Director at PURE + FREEFORM, \u201cmoving away from the standard colors and finishes you see on exteriors today to create something that can truly offer a sense of scale, place and meaning.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png?ssl=1\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/15097174217111509647029506pure_freeform_4.jpeg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/15097174217111509647029506pure_freeform_4.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/15097174217111509647029506pure_freeform_4.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/15097174217111509647029506pure_freeform_4.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/15097174217111509647029506pure_freeform_4.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/mediadata\/uploads\/15097174217111509647029506pure_freeform_4.jpeg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t data-recalc-dims=\"1\">\n<\/div>\n\n<p><i>PURE + FREEFORM\u2019s Celeste Stone<\/i><\/p>\n<p>As its reputation has grown, the company is collaborating with more progressive designers and developers on projects. One of their latest commissions, a partnership with Perkins Eastman in San Francisco, utilizes a custom finish that is groundbreaking in both color and pattern, but is visible at certain times of day at an intimate scale. The look of the fa\u00e7ade from afar is detached from the texture up close. This manipulation of metal offers architects more dynamic and personalized fa\u00e7ades.<\/p>\n<p>For the Portland Japanese Garden, Kuma\u2019s team chose the dark-hued <a href=\"https:\/\/purefreeform.com\/portfolio-item\/celeste-stone\/\">Celeste Stone<\/a> with a width of 3 millimeters. The panels bring a beautiful and sophisticated tone to the project and ground the architecture within the surrounding urban context.<\/p>\n<p>The entire expansion \u2014 from the design of the various pavilions to the materials featured throughout \u2014 evokes a clear response to the Garden\u2019s storied past and its future as a contemporary educational facility and tranquil space for nature lovers to convene. Just as the wildlife within brings an aura of animation and the soul to the space, so do the iridescent aluminum panels that line the new pavilions.<\/p>\n<p><i>Images Courtesy Portland Japanese
