JAPAN ~ 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT -Tokyo ~

... Nice museum view designed by the most renowned contemporary Japanese architect Tadao Ando... the sight itself houses excellent design related exhibitions directed by Japan’s most renowned designers... it stands as a testament to Japan’s profound appreciation for design... the peaceful Midtown Garden around the museum is a tranquil place to stroll before or after your visit...  another "culinary" tip from Jobbo: the "Nihon Saisei Sakaba Shinjuku" bar... just saying maybe you should first read what they serve before you go😁... must have been a very interesting💩exhibition (don't really understand the connection with design though😉)... Thanks Jobbo!¯\_(ツ)_/¯

21_21 DESIGN SIGHT is a design focused museum founded by Issey Miyake. It opened in 2007, with 80% of its very limited floor space placed underground. The ground floor houses Gallery 3 and shop space, while the underground floor houses two galleries and a naturally lit sunken court.

The building uses a single, 54-meter sheet of folded steel plate as its roof. In addition to the roof, the building incorporates Japan's world-leading technology such as the longest sheet of double-glazed glass in Japan.
