Kengo Kuma: Kadokawa Culture Museum (One Minute Architecture)

[@Archimarathon]

Thanks for the video, commentary and much easier to watch footage (I get motion sickness).

[@OneMinuteArchitecture]

Nice

Reminds one of the Casa de Musica, the seams don't join there as well, but perhaps not as obviously as at 2.27. You're right about the urban space outside, which is better than the Porto building. Thanks for your videos, and commentary, I really enjoy them.

I haven't seen the Casa de Musica, so I can't comment. The craftsmanship for the stone cladding at Kadokawa Museum is exquisite.

@@OneMinuteArchitecture The issue of cladding joints meeting at corners of course comes from the nature of the geometries. In Porto, from memory, they get it right until you get to the rear of the building and the cladding no longer aligns - a bit like a pattern on a shirt going awry. Looks like the Kuma office accepts that this will be the case and goes with it. But this is a bit of a nerdy architecture obsession. Thanks again for your videos.

[@OneMinuteArchitecture]

@@pickerrs As far as I could see everything aligns perfectly. In the exhibition, he shows some drawings of how the stone has been clad on steel frames that are then attached to the concrete frame. Nothing nerdy in my mind, this is what architecture is all about! Cheers!

Not a huge fan of post modern architecture except for Kengo Kuma's works. Im a bit biased lol.

It's pretty good. I'm working on another Kuma PoMo one but need some more footage.
