RE: The Kanayama Museum Designed by Kengo Kuma

What an incredibly stunning Japanese museum @dmilliz!
The Ichimatsu Moyo pattern - I've learned something new today, and I'll surely bear this in mind. These Japanese traditional shapes, as inspired by interesting geometries from nature, are a visual feast to behold. Aside from their simplicity on plain surfaces, their valuable applications as volumetric forms exude a spellbinding effect. I could also imagine walking on that floor map as a giant (I'd love to see close-up shots of that floor). You were also correct in using the term "balustrade" near that staircase.
You really need to go back there, stay longer, and investigate more of that museum experience because 10 minutes is absolutely not sufficient to immerse yourself in all its magnificent details. Besides that, this is a critically crucial piece of architecture, a design legacy by no other than the legendary Kengo Kuma. That spectacular landmark certainly deserves more quality time. That museum is truly a perfect epitome of architecture that manipulates light and nature through the clever use of materials. Superb publication bro. More blessings! 😊

ENGAGEtoday.Hey man! We both learned something new. The friend that I went with told me about the designer and how he designed the olympic stadium. Then I went and researched him and learnt about the pattern. Also Balustrade was something I had to research 😄.
Yes, I really need to spend more time at this museum as there was so much to absorb. I had no idea the architect of this museum was so great. Looking at the wiki he has designed some very outstanding and well known structures and many of them seem to use the Ichimatsu pattern. He surely has made a new legacy for Japanese design while keeping the essence of the traditional. I shall take that photo of the floor map when I go back and spend some good time here. Thanks for the super comment man.
