NARIWA MUSEUM CASE STUDY

MEDIA & MODELING 1 – PARK – SPRING 2020 PARTNERS: LINNA XIA & KHIN MAHAR

This project was precedent study of Tadao Ando’s Nariwa Museum of Art in Takahashi, Japan. We reconstructed this building in Rhino by following Ando’s plans. In this project we improved our modeling skills and learned how Ando uses angles to create an experience in harmony with nature.

The diagram shows a geometrical analysis intended for further understand the building. The intentionality by Ando with the difference in ceiling height space can also be seen in the section.

The rendered interior view features the atrium hallway space, often also used as an exhibition hall, and one of Ando’s unique angled concrete stair cases.
