Kure City Ondo Civic Center : Architecture Information
Contemporary Japanese Design by Kengo Kuma & Associates
Special characteristics of the site and materials used in the project
The site looks down the calm Inland Sea of Japan and has a water conduit
within. Its landscape consists of the ridgeline of the mountains and
islands faced with the surface of the sea. For materials, the unit
system of traditional tile-roofing (plain rectangular tile and hollow
semicircular tile are used alternately) technique was applied to the
louvers to stress plasticity. In the external wall the use of wood
weight in the siding boards was partially omitted so that it could
accent three-dimensional expression.
