Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Centre - Kengo Kuma and Associates
This visitor centre in Tokyo by Japanese architects Kengo Kuma & Associates looks like a stack of smaller buildings with sloping roofs.
Horizontal slices divide the tower’s eight main storeys, creating sloping ceilings in conference rooms and an exhibition space, as well as a tiered floor inside the multi-purpose hall.
Wooden louvres shade each of the four glass elevations and are spaced differently depending on the shade and privacy required by the rooms inside. Surfaces inside the building are also timber-clad and balconies are located on two of the upper floors.
