- Not far from Tokyo, in Tokorozawa, the Kadokawa Culture Museum rises out of the earth like a colossal prehistoric monument, wrought from the imagination of an irreverent conjurer. It is in fact Japanese architect Kengo Kuma who is casting the spell on visitors who venture into Kadokawa Culture Museum's library, gallery, and cabinet of curiosities...continue reading on www.nowness.com/series/nownes...

In the right way of Japanese Culture still humble and immortality.

Beautiful forms usually calls for excessive construction methods, not to mention the crazy costs. I am not sure if this is a good price to pay for emotional well being or artistic connection to nature if any. Take a good look at any stone quarries, half of the surrounding forests get destroyed just for our ‘need to connect with nature’. Then again, he’s Kengo Kuma so he’s allowed to do anything.
Kinda my thoughts too.
subtitles are so chaotic
If the region is famous for its granite, you might as well done the project at one of the quarries instead of extracting them. There are so many good examples of re-purposed quarries into museums, houses, civic centers around the world...
great video! love it, great to understand the architect thinking for his design by himself.... thanks for sharing! subscribed.
This kind of content always makes me happy. Thank you!!
Super interesting to watch
I like most of his works but this project reminds me of the:
cold monumental scale of Wang Shu's Ningbo Historic Museum
distracting facade tiles of Jean Nouvel's Philharmonie de Paris
unreachable 'shelves' of MVRDV's Tianjin Binhai Library
it's ironic to want to bring people closer to nature by not having the natural environment at all
I like how the video was produced edited in an analogous fashion to the structure it presents, what exactly is this structure, is it strictly a library
It's a multipurpose cultural labyrinth that houses an anime museum, library, cafes, art gallery, event space, landscaped garden... * catches breath * It is almost endless!
It's like a lost piece from an alien spaceship
this was good thank you!
Very interesting, thanks. The music was great too, any indication on where to find it ?
Todas estas formas están buenas pero siempre sus interiores son agobiantes y opresivos; sin luz adecuada
I'm searching for a ppt template for my presentation about this subject. Please I need help
Master Kengo Kuma san.
멋있어요 너무너무
🔥🔥🔥😲
I admire the surface material, but I’m not sure the overall form achieves much that can be called innovative or compelling. Compare it to the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles by Frank Ghery. That’s a building whose forms soar and material shimmers in its environment.
I liked, I enjoyed it but subtitles are too small and no need to add Japanese subs if he's already speaking Japanese
That’s chinese subtitles.

造型能力可以 但构造无非是贴皮 太勉强
It's a monstrosity with no regard for environmental cost in construction and in maintaining such blindings!
So much of the things he said are pointless,
like the majority of things said to explain any architectural design.
The idea “granite because millions years ago there was an earthquake” is really making sense to anyone anywhere?
yes, it makes perfect sense... that's how architectural concepts happen
When you're looking for a concept, everything has a connection and I think it's the architects job to make those connections visible for the people
I agree with you, but sometimes I start to suspect that ideas that I don’t understand are not mysteriously complex, but just meaningless… don’t you ever have the same impression?
Other Japanese architects like Riken Yamamoto make less beautiful buildings, but the “connection” or idea that shape them is linear and clear, and still complex and beautiful.
What a hideous structure that shows no connection to anything. They could have actually chosen to build something which actually represents local culture using traditional Japanese architecture but no they decided to throw up a bolder and call it art. There is no uniqueness in that hunk of rock, no history or culture. The architect says he doesn't approve of "blindly following the development of metropolitan architecture" yet chose to follow the most soulless void trends of modern architecture from ever metropolis in the world.
He’s getting worse
