The Hiroshima Architecture Exhibition is a festival held in Hiroshima Prefecture every three years with the missions of: advocating for an architecture-led vision of town planning, nurturing the sensibilities of future generations, revitalizing local communities, and preserving examples of exceptional architecture in the regions.
The inaugural Hiroshima Architecture Exhibition 2025 will be held across more than 10 venues, including Fukuyama Museum of Art (Civic Gallery) in Fukuyama City, Onomichi City Museum of Art in Onomichi City, and satellite venues outside of Hiroshima Prefecture.
The Seto Inland Sea region is home to a large number of architectural masterpieces that have been built in response to the region’s unique climate, landscape, and traditions. This is because the inland sea, which Hiroshima Prefecture faces, has served as a major artery of culture and logistics throughout Japan’s history—from the time when the nation first sent envoys to the Sui and Tang courts of China, to the time of the Joseon missions from Korea, and the Kitamaebune merchant ships of the Edo Period. Across this sea, Japan has invited people and cultures from abroad, while also transmitting its culture to the world. In addition to ancient architecture, contemporary architects such as Kenzo Tange, Tadao Ando, Toyo Ito, SANAA, and Shigeru Ban have created challenging and experimental masterpieces here, attracted by the unique magnetism of the Seto Inland Sea region, forged by both nature and civilization. As a result, the region is now a trove of architectural treasures, dating from ancient times to the present.
Under the theme of “Architecture: A New Stance for Tomorrow,” the Hiroshima Architecture Exhibition 2025 will present opportunities to experience, think about, and interact with architecture from various perspectives, including history, climate, landscape, technology, and thought. Visitors are invited to experience firsthand the art of architecture here in the Seto Inland Sea region and join us in seeking out a “new stance for tomorrow.”
