Ando’s large civic museum in HAT Kobe, part of the post-earthquake waterfront. Sea-facing terraces and large concrete voids propose the museum as walkable public space in urban recovery.

Highlights

  • Seaward terraces — What pause do they insert before or after galleries?
  • Grand stepped voids — How do people gather as in a plaza?
