great simplicity and well refined contemporary Japaneseness embodied in design. I believe it may compose such a beautiful and sensitive tea house if this can be built in real scale and material.
My concern in this project is the critical difference between paper model and the real scale structure. As quite a few of cut corners are bending even in the paper model, this structure has apparent weak spot in structure. Also, in real life using plywood (which has unignorable weight), the accumulated weight would increase as the structure come close to the center. Therefore, the stress concentration will be more near the edges close to the center point - the required strength is not as even as your design is showing. You may need to consider how the stress can be distributed evenly, and width of structure can be coordinated with the accumulated weight of each location. In that sense, the structure can be highly sensitive and also highly successful parametric modeling example if above linear structure issue can be resolved. However, there will still be a fundamental issue that it may be very difficult to make joint between different plywood sheets, since the structure may not be cut from one piece of plywood - at this moment I don't see any effective detail of connection.
I really like the conception and would like to see in real scale. The transformation you have shown is pretty nice but you haven't came up with the actual solution how you would do this using size limited plywood which has less chance to be bended/twisted as a paper.The joinery is critical in this design.
You also have to think about the fabrication method. For example how you would hang the structure when there is nothing around you to hold.
