The Ogume store is located in a newly built large-scale commercial facility called Vision in Taki, Mie prefecture. Ogume is originally a long-established seafood processing wholesaler with a history of over 150 years in the Tsukiji market. It has served as the core of the Tsukiji market, the kitchen of Japan. This project was designed to recreate the essence of Ogume in the new location as much as possible. First, we studied the flow of pedestrians in the neighborhood, determined the shape and layout of the building, and placed entrances to draw in people passing through the neighborhood. To retain those who approached the store and make it easier for them to enter, we erased the boundary between inside and outside, installed display stands, benches and tables for eating and drinking outside the building, and let merchandise and people seep out. In addition, to create a lively atmosphere inside as well, the kitchen and dashi (soup stock) workshop, which are the store’s main activity areas, were placed at both ends so that a lively noise would echo throughout the space, creating a lively place for customers to linger. The height and placement of the fixtures were varied as much as possible to create an environment that encourages people to actively walk around and pick up products at random. We enveloped the lively atmosphere in a transparent architecture so that people see it and feel like going back inside.

The Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin’s Kulturforum is one of the icons of twentieth-century architecture. The only building realized by Mies van der Rohe in Europe after his emigration to the USA, the Neue Nationalgalerie has been dedicated to the art of the twentieth century since its opening in 1968. After almost 50 years, the damage, deficiencies, and deficits of intensive use are to be carefully and sustainably addressed, within the restrictions imposed by the building’s status as a listed monument. The process of refurbishment and modernisation aims for maximum preservation of the existing fabric, with a minimum visual compromise to the building’s original appearance.

MVRDV’s extraordinary new project Depot Van Beuningen is the world’s first fully accessible art depot, located at Museum Park in the center of Rotterdam. The building has drawn huge interest for its radical and potentially revolutionary approach to open arts storage.

Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architect Tadao Ando is one of the most renowned designers in the field today. His work, defined by large expanses of unadorned concrete and emotive use of natural elements like sunlight, water, and wind, has become definitive of contemporary Japanese architecture, but his influence extends the world around. His most recent project embeds a new exhibition space for contemporary art into a neoclassical landmark building in the center of Paris. Responding to the existing structure, which was built at the end of the 18th century as the Halle aux blés for use by grain traders and converted in the 19th century into the Bourse de commerce by Henri Blondel, Ando has created a space that connects Paris’s rich architectural past with the present and future.
