1. [ Designed by Sachio Otani · Opened 1966 ] This gives you a completely different generation of Japanese modernism. The building uses bold geometric forms inspired partly by traditional Japanese architecture and is deliberately integrated with the surrounding landscape. The center itself describes its architecture as combining upright and inverted trapezoids and using the surrounding mountains as a kind of borrowed scenery.

   1 Std.

2. [ Designed by Tadao Ando · Opened 1994 ] This building immediately introduces Ando’s language: exposed concrete, geometry, water, movement, and carefully controlled views. It is essentially an architecture-as-experience project rather than a conventional museum.

3. [ Designed by Arata Isozaki · Opened 1995 ] A completely different approach to monumentality and geometry. The complex forms, symmetry, circulation, and relationship between structure and public space make it useful for discussing how Japanese architects approached large cultural buildings in the late 20th century.

   45 Min.

4. [ Designed by Kenjirō Maeda · Opened 1933 ] Explore one of Kyoto’s landmark modernist buildings, where its 1933 architecture by Kenjirō Maeda is thoughtfully integrated with contemporary additions by Jun Aoki and Tezzo Nishizawa.

   45 Min.

5. [ Designed by Hiroshi Hara · Opened 1997 ] We’ll walk along the Sky Walk, away from the crowds, using the station’s elevated passageways. It's probably the best place to discuss architecture at an urban scale: enormous interior volume, circulation, commercial functions, transportation, light, and the tension between Kyoto's historic identity and an extremely futuristic building.

About Kyoto

Kyoto, über tausend Jahre Japans Kaiserstadt, ist eine Stadt der Tempel, Gärten, Holzhäuser und verfeinerten Traditionen.

Die Stadt beherbergt viele der kostbarsten Stätten Japans. Tausende zinnoberrote Torii-Tore des Fushimi Inari Taisha steigen einen bewaldeten Berg hinauf, der Goldene Pavillon des Kinkaku-ji schimmert über seinem Teich, und die hölzerne Bühne des Kiyomizu-dera ragt aus dem Hang über der Stadt. Der Felsengarten des Ryoan-ji und das moosbewachsene Gelände des Ginkaku-ji laden zur stillen Betrachtung ein.

Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
