About the Project

Overview Kadokawa Musashino Museum is a cultural complex with a new concept that combines a library, art gallery, and museum.
Under the supervision of editorial engineer Seigo Matsuoka, naturalist Hiroshi Aramata, architect Kengo Kuma, and art scholar and art educator Shingo Kamino, the site disseminates culture from a wide range of angles, from mainstream culture (contemporary art, literature, etc.) to pop culture (anime, manga, etc.).
Issues/Themes With overall supervision by Seigo Matsuoka and design by Kengo Kuma & Associates, we aimed to materialize an unprecedented library and contribute to realizing the facility's concept.
Space Solution/Realization In collaboration with Seigo Matsuoka Office and Kengo Kuma & Associates, the project will create a "book town where you can feel the bustle of books" and "bookshelves that overlap like the structure of the brain."
In order to realize a concept never before seen in a library, a full-scale mock-up was created. Books were arranged, category signs and Video were added, and projection mapping was tried out through trial and error. The bookshelves were modularized in a factory and assembled on-site, achieving high precision, the planned strength, and shortening the on-site construction period.
Design for Environment 3R design: All bookshelves are made from coniferous plywood made from thinned wood, with sustainability in mind.
