[Hyogo] The place where Tadao Ando's architecture and art come together The reason for the famous 🍏 apples

The architectural concept of this museum is a place for the exhibition of artworks and the fusion of art.

It's irresistible for people who love architecture and art!

First of all, the entrance hall is shaped like a spiral. It is said that this is to heighten sensitivity and invite meditation.

Meditation...I see!

It certainly looks like a lunar taiji diagram.

Hearing that, I wanted to stand in the middle of the design written on the floor of the basement and feel something lol (I'm the type who can't feel anything)

And the inconvenience of getting lost in a giant maze is also part of the fun of finding the architectural tricks.

Is it light or inconvenience, yin and yang?

When you go around to the back, you'll see Sun Sister ✴️, which contains Kenji Yanobe's thoughts on the earthquake disaster. It has a strong gaze and a powerful presence!

I guess world-famous people know some kind of law that moves people's hearts.

Sorry to keep you waiting. "The reason behind that famous 🍏 apple"

Did you know that the green apple 🍏 in this building was also designed by Ando? ? ?

This apple has a message attached to it,
-----------------------------------
In "Poems of Youth," Samuel Ullman proclaimed that youth is not a period of life, but a state of mind.

A spirit of challenge that faces difficult reality without fear of failure.

The strength of the mind that does not give up on dreams, no matter what adversity you face.

No matter how much your body and intellect age and mature, as long as you do not lose this inner youth, you can live without growing old.

Towards eternal youth that never loses its radiance --

What we aim for is not the spirit of a sweet, ripe red apple, but the spirit of a green apple that is immature and sour but full of hope for tomorrow.

Tadao Ando
-----------------------------------

Hey! Did you hear that?

How wonderful! So cool!

However, I was about to end it with, "The apples are cute!"

This message made me shiver lol 👏👏👏

I see~ My perspective on the apples has changed all at once 👏

Please go and feel that way.
