Exhibition
Beyond Japan
March20-November29,2020
Despite Japanese art and culture being highly regarded in the world, contemporary Japanese architecture that is renowned in the world is not so well known domestically. The works built overseas by eight architects that are exhibited here were selected for their appropriateness in the individual environments and design restrictions. The first architecture built overseas designed by a Japanese architect in the early Showa era has become a global contemporary architecture sought after by the world that continues to stimulate the world of architecture today. The object of this special exhibition is to create an opportunity to think about the new tide and future of contemporary architecture through the works of what we may call "Japanese Architecture beyond Japan."
