At Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum
Media: Photography, Architecture, Art Talk

We often experience architecture and the renovations to it through photographs because buildings cannot be moved easily and are often demolished with time. Architectural photographs allow many viewers to experience an architectural work by reflecting the ideas of the architect, and at times sheds light on hidden aspects of a building also. This exhibition features commemorative architectural photographs taken during the Meiji era and photographs of pre-construction models in a 7-part show, comprising approximately 400 works.
