Intersections nodal
Suntory Museum
Tadao Ando
Osaka, Japan 1992-1994
When the heart becomes functional geometric center
know the overall cultural wanted by Suntory, a Japanese liquor, includes an art gallery, a 3D cinema, a restaurant and shops. Each function has its volume: the trunk of an inverted cone that acts as a hinge of the composition is the cinema, while the museum and restaurant each have a rectangular block, with an orientation designed to have spectacular views of the bay of Osaka. All rooms open onto a large hall raised to which access is allowed through an escalator outside. Everything is connected to that bay with a square of 100 meters long, with tiers, now a meeting place and scenery for shows and outdoor concerts.
is interesting to see how the different volumes so far come together to create a harmonious whole, despite the use of different materials: the rectangular blocks are made of prestressed concrete and the truncated cone and covered with a mesh of stainless steel and glass. The careful study of visual architect is a gift to visitors of the building, despite its complexity has a provision of the functions and volumes as to be essential and very well worth living.
