About the Project
| Overview | Shinagawa History Museum, which opened in 1985, underwent architectural renovations and exhibition renewal under the concept of "turning Shinagawa into a live museum!", a place where people can feel close to the history of Shinagawa City and take an active role in its activities. It functions as a place of exchange where people can casually drop in, by collecting, preserving and displaying historical materials related to the precious culture and history of Shinagawa Ward, as well as a place for learning about history and a garden. |
|---|---|
| Issues/Themes | Responding to the deterioration of the building and facilities, the need to update the exhibition information, reviewing the composition of unused rooms, expanding the storage facility, and strengthening the museum's functions. The exhibitions and the way it is presented were renewed to allow visitors to feel closer to the history of Shinagawa and to be able to take an active role in the museum. |
| Space Solution/Realization | The building has been renovated and the interior has been completely renewed, and the functions of each room have been reviewed. In addition to the "Live Stage" and "Live Wall," the permanent exhibition room also features a "giant screen" in the atrium leading to the second floor that introduces the history of Shinagawa from the perspective of children of each era. By combining documents, models, and Video, we have created a lively museum space that can be enjoyed by everyone from children to adults. Additionally, a "Live Labo" has been created, a space surrounded by trees that can be used for a variety of museum activities, such as workshops and curatorial research, providing a flexible space for interaction between visitors and museum staff. |
| Design for Environment | Universal design: Basic Planning was designed together with Mirairo Inc. (which entered into a business partnership with Tanseisha in 2018), a universal design consulting company. In the final stages Execution Design they provided architectural renovations, checked sign drawings, and oversaw the project. Cultural property protection: The interior of the existing storehouse and the storage fixtures have been renewed. Disused photography rooms and other facilities have been renovated and refurbished to serve as a storage facility. |
