Toyota Aizuma Hall
"Various things are mixed together" After the experience overseas and engaged in rigid programs, Kazuyo Sejima designed gToyota Aizuma Hallh inspired by an image of the space which inside and outside are more linked and born simultaneously. For that matter, g21st Century Museum of Contemporary Arth is actually a gmixtureh of two programs: an art museum and a community space. Is it possible that various activities in a local community have broad presence as architecture and landscape in an open manner, not just become gvisibleh? Her flow of thought until today is followed up.
