Naoshima ArchitectureOrangina is a drink from Suntory Group's Orangina Schweppes company, but
That commercial also featuresNaoshima Elementary School" appears.
Naoshima Elementary School is the first in the "Naoshima Architecture" series, completed in 1970, but
It's an amazing (interesting) design that doesn't look like it's over 45 years old.
The design is by Kazuhiro Ishii.
This was a work from when I was a graduate student at the University of Tokyo, at the young age of 26.
Mr. Ishii went on to design several public facilities in Naoshima Town.
For more details on other buildings, please inquire.Naoshima Town WebsitePlease see.
Naoshima offers not only art but also architecture to enjoy.
A trip to Naoshima visiting Mr. Ishii's architecture is also wonderful.
The book "Naoshima Architecture," which compiles the architecture of Naoshima, is available for purchase at "Naoshima Rakuchi" in the Umi no Eki "Naoshima" (310 yen).
Whether you're interested in architecture or not, please consider purchasing it.
Naoshima Elementary School appears around the 40-second mark.
