What has changed? ?
To the northeast of the site will be a new Higashiyama Cube, which has an area of approximately 1,000 m² and a contemporary art exhibition room with a ceiling height of 5 m, a storage room, a back office and a roof garden. In addition to contemporary art, the exhibition space equipped with high-performance, state-of-the-art equipment that supports various expressions presents contemporary cultural and art scenes such as animation, comics, fashion, architecture, and design. You can also see the magnificent Higashiyama from the rooftop garden "Higashiyama Cube Terrace".
The two inner courtyards of the main building, which have not been used until now, will be reborn as a multifunctional large space that makes use of the design at the time of completion. The courtyard of the North Corridor "Hall of Lights" has a balcony on the second floor and a large glass roof. By creating an indoor space where light can enter, it has become possible to flexibly use it as a venue for reception events, an exhibition space for special works, etc. The courtyard of the Southern Corridor, "Tennochuba", is an open and relaxing space where you can come into contact with the fresh outside air, and you can also use it as an exhibition space for your works and workshops.
The main building, which has been popular for a long time since its opening, will be reborn with updated equipment while preserving the historical architectural design as much as possible. On the first floor of the "Southern Corridor", a new collection room (about 1,000 m2) will be set up to display the stored items. You can enjoy the masterpieces of Kyoto paintings at any time by displaying selected works from the collection according to the season. The 2nd floor of the "South Corridor" will be a space where you can enjoy art in the natural light while maintaining the original design.In addition to the 2nd floor of the "South Corridor," the "North Corridor," which takes advantage of the history and tradition of a profound museum space, allows visitors to experience various arts both in Japan and abroad. We will hold special exhibitions co-sponsored with other museums, international traveling exhibitions, and open exhibitions by art groups.
With this renovation, the function of the 16m high ceiling display room located in the center of the main building will be changed from the lobby of the main entrance on the first basement floor to the "central hall", which is connected by a grand staircase. Three floors from the first basement to the second floor, as well as a "North Corridor" and "South Corridor", "Higashiyama Cube" and "Japanese Garden" can be used as a hub for freely moving and hanging works from the ceiling. Mechanisms, balconies, spiral staircases, etc. that can be exhibited at a low speed will accelerate the coming and going of lively people.
Okazaki is Kyoto's premier cultural and exchange zone, where various cultural and historical resources and open spaces rich in water and greenery are concentrated. Kyocera Square, a slope-shaped plaza that opens in front of the museum, is a landscape where people visiting Okazaki can enjoy the excursion and interaction, as well as providing a place for daily relaxation and outdoor activities such as art exhibitions, performances, and events. It is a space where people can always gather and live. The facade of the main building is lit up at night, creating a magnificent view of Kyoto, which has accumulated history. At the time of a large-scale event using the entire "Kyocera Square", the audience will naturally sit on a gently sloping surface and face the main building façade, and the museum and plaza will become an integrated space.
In front of the "Kyocera Square" and on the basement 1st floor of the main building, the facade, which is the most important symbol of this renewal project, is the "glass ribbon". This transparent and light streamlined design not only shows a beautiful fusion with historical architecture, but also functions as a place to connect the inside and outside of the museum such as the main entrance, museum shop, and cafe. The liveliness of the museum spreads through the "glass ribbon" to the town of Okazaki.
On the first basement floor on the northwest corner of the site, we will newly establish a space called "The Triangle", which is mainly for emerging artists. We named it "The Triangle" because the shape of the ground part is triangular and it is a base that connects the three "writer, museum and world (viewer)". Through this light triangle, various art works will be transmitted to the town. It is accessible from the ground and the first basement floor.
A Japanese garden that is said to have been involved in the garden design by Harubei Ogawa, the seventh generation. It is open as a place of relaxation and fun.
A two-story Western-style building constructed at the same time as the main building. It is planned to be renovated into a restaurant facility that has a cultural element while maintaining its appearance.
The Kyoto City Kyocera Museum is the oldest existing public museum architecture in Japan. In this renewal, we are trying to preserve the historical space and design of the original building as much as possible. The four halls in the north, south, east, west, and north areas have the characteristic marble walls, mosaic tiles on the floor, and stucco ceilings. In the eastern hall, there is a corner to introduce the "Kyoto Award", an international award that celebrates those who have made a great contribution to the fields of science, technology, thought and art.
