A design museum whose building is the masterpiece

Abstract

Whenever you visit Japan you will get really shocked by the cultural and the lifestyle differences. Visiting the design museum sited in Tokyo, which was the dream of the world-class designer Issey Miyake and designed by the Prizker award winner Tadao Ando, enhances this sensation of contrast. These two geniuses have created, with the aid of other designers, this museum based on the everyday life, in the nature in the simple shapes and in the soul and the spirit always under the focus of the design having developed a concept that inspires love in a simple and at the same time complex way.
