Architect Yoshio Taniguchi (Japanese, b. 1937) came to international acclaim in 1997 when he won both his first invited competition and his first international commission for the expansion of The Museum of Modern Art. Although MoMA's new building is the architect's first outside of Japan, in his native country he has distinguished himself over the past twenty years as a rare talent of sublimely beautiful architectural spaces, ideal for the display of works of art.
This exhibition presents nine of Taniguchi's museum designs central to understanding his approach to architecture. The exhibition begins with his first independent museum, the 1978 Shiseido Museum of Art, and ends with his Centennial Hall, which will be part of the Kyoto National Museum upon its completion in 2007. Each building is distinctly modern
and characterized by pure geometries, rich materials, and artful construction. Large- and small-scale models of each project, including The Museum of Modern Art's renovated building, will be presented along with texts, photographs,
and drawings.
위의 내용은 http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2004/9taniguchi_11-20-04.html 에서 발췌한 것으로 이번 MoMA 증축 공사를 위촉받은 일본 건축가 Yoshio Taniguchi 의 특별 전시는
2005년 1월 31일까지 한다.
건축물 모형도 있고..
사진도 있었다.
동생이 그 사진을 그대로 찍어온 사진들.
일본에서 20년 이상 박물관 등을 건축해 온 Yoshio Taniguchi 는,
일본이 아닌 다른 나라에 지은 건축물로 이번 MoMA 가 처음이라고 한다.
MoMA 가 re-open 했다고 했을땐, 그냥 그런가보다..했는데,
일본 사람이, 그것도 세기의 MoMA 를 총담당 했다고 하니, 맘이 그렇다.
이왕이면 우리 나라 사람이 맡았더라면 얼마나 좋아...
