Nagano Prefectural Art Museum 2021

Client : Nagano Prefecture
Design :  Plants Associates / KMD / studio on site / P.T.Morimura & Associates

Situated in Jyoyama Park, adjacent to Zenkoji Temple, the design concept consciously aims to connect with the surrounding green environment as a “landscape museum.” Also referred to as “a park with a roof,” free space is available for public use. Through the concept of “connecting light,” the lighting environment aims to unify architecture and park through the movement of visitors and the visual field. At night the entire building glows like a lantern and the effect is felt throughout the park, as the lighting integrates with the landscape and cityscape.
