21st Century of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa


This museum was designed and built five years ago by SANAA. Here are some pictures I took a long time ago.

The study models made during the design process by SANAA.


The facade


The outer walls are all glass.


There are lots of 'patios' and they are usually surrounded by glass walls.


I love this green wall. I don't remember the name of the artist though.


A friend of mine posted some blog with pictuers of the "pool" of this building. I don't remember the name of the artist, but here are the pictures:

Its located in a patio surrounded by glass, of course.


It looks like a pool. There is a very shallow layer of water on the top of a single glass.


Here is the underground entrance


And that is me!
