Teshima Art Museum is a must-visit in Japan.

It doesn’t sound like much - a concrete dome with two oval ‘windows’ cut into it, but it is a profound experience.

Rather than you looking out at nature, nature seems to look in at you.

The project on Teshima Island in Japan repurposes an old ironworks site into a café and brewery plant, to be designed very close to the island's industrial background, its rural and maritime surroundings, and the concept of reuse. It is a meticulous instance of adaptive architecture that relates to both tradition and modern life. #Factory #Islandculture #Japanesearchitecture

Architecture serves as a mirror reflecting the culture and history of civilizations. When discussing Japanese and Chinese architecture, we find that both have deep roots in Asian traditions, yet each possesses unique characteristics that set it apart. #Architecturaldifferences #Chinesearchitecture #Traditionaldesign #Japanesearchitecture
