Evolving Framework
Housed within a newly built library in Chuo City, Tokyo, this museum blends culture with sustainability through thoughtful design. Inspired by the aesthetics of library bookshelves, its 3D grid of curved lines creates a dynamic visual experience, while integrated pop culture illustrations appeal to both Japanese and international visitors. The modular magnetic information system enables flexible updates, minimising environmental impact by reducing waste from traditional display changes, showcasing a forward-thinking approach to museum design.
