Product Description

This book explores the creative processes and philosophies of architects who design art museums, tracing their thoughts through words and archival materials. It features in-depth coverage of several notable museums, including the Chigasaki City Museum of Art by Yoichiro Yamaguchi, known for his regionally rooted architectural designs; the Shimane Arts Center by Hiroshi Naito, distinguished by its use of Iwami tiles to cover the entire building; the Shimose Art Museum by Shigeru Ban, which incorporates Hiroshima’s shipbuilding techniques; the Inujima Seirensho Art Museum by Hiroshi Sambuichi, recognized for its sustainable, energy-circulating architecture; and the Teshima Art Museum by Ryue Nishizawa, where environment, art, and architecture are seamlessly integrated. Additionally, the book draws on materials from the National Archives of Modern Architecture to examine the Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Modern Art, the National Museum of Western Art, and the Gunma Museum of Art, Tatebayashi. Through photographs, documents, and interviews with the architects, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of the concepts behind these iconic buildings. Published as a companion reader for the exhibition of the same name at the Chigasaki City Museum of Art, opening in April 2025, the book also includes a special insert: "Poetry of Space," a literary exploration of museum spaces by playwright Takutaku Yamamoto.
