Contemporary Art

The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art is located in the center of Kanazawa, one of the nation’s historical centers, on the north coast of Japan.

The building contains community gathering spaces, a library, lecture hall, children’s workshop, as well as museum spaces. The variously proportioned rooms placed inside the circular building - the model based on a chain of islands or an urban space - signify the centers that generate values originating in the maldistribution of decentrism and polycentrism, and in remote regions.

The first image, particularly of the people standing "under water" is just wonderful! It reminds me somewhat of Do-Ho Suh's installation art piece named "Floor" (shown here).

Wow, cool! I wish Japan was just a bus ride away. I love that under water effect.
