Jun Aoki Museum

176 pages, Japanese/English

When it comes to Jun Aoki’s projects related to art, regardless of the intended function, the architecture remains open to diverse uses, inviting relationships that have yet to be fully seen or defined. Aoki embraces ambiguity and contradictions, allowing for the coexistence of differing values and rhythms that each individual brings to the experience of art. The 25 featured projects include public art museums, galleries, exhibition designs, and artworks. Each transforms into a unique spatial experience depending on the art it hosts, the people who visit, and its moment in time. With new essays and commentary by Aoki, this is a glimpse of architecture’s potential to suggest a freer future.
