Day 6 – Suntory Museum of Art

Located just behind the Tokyo Midtown project, this soft little museum exhibition space by Todao Ando is a gentle bit of elegance amidst the chaos of the surrounding urbanity.  Consisting of a single exhibition space and a cafe, there is a gracefull place between the curve of the roof and the form of the concrete and the infill of the windows.  A central opening slices through the building providing cover and access to both pieces of the program, as well as delivering you into the garden on the opposite side.
