Ryue Nishizawa designed Arts Towada museum as the centerpiece for the Towada Arts Project, which converted the old main street into a dynamic art center for this city on Honshu island. The layers of construct give visual connections and circulatory permeability.As a “study on density,” this project has no master planning. The white boxes act similarly to Tschumi’s “pavilions in the park” as a grand arrangement, only that it is random and more urban. It also seems to take a cue from the Kanazawa contemporary art museum with layered envelopes of glazing and solid materials.
