Kisho Kurokawa is the architect behind the new National Art Center in Roppongi, a suburb of Tokyo. The NAC opened less than two months ago, in early January and is now Japan’s biggest art museum.
The building is a large glittering of organic walls. What is interesting about this center as a national art gallery is that it will not have a permanent collection, or even stockpile art. Instead, the NAC will have a rotating program of temporary and visiting exhibitions.
