Hiroshi Senju Museum Karuizawa
Ryue Nishizawa Office · Karuizawa, Japan · 2011
Ryue Nishizawa treats the museum as a thin, gently contoured roof floating over a sloping garden-like interior. Curved glass walls and planted courtyards weave between galleries, minimizing the distinction between exhibition space and landscape. The absence of conventional corridors makes the visit continuous and informal, while the soft natural light complements Hiroshi Senju's atmospheric paintings.
