| Discussion | Kamioka Town Hall Commentary
“Several basic forms are combined in this building, which also has an unusual combination of finishing materials (aluminum and granite). The cubic structure of the main entrance for the executeve offices is faced in pink granite. A double-cylinder form houses the reception area on the lower floor and an assembly hall on the upper floor. The area in between, in certain respects an extension of the entrance block, is used for offices; Isozaki’s ‘Marilyn Monroe’ curve provides a softening effect here.’ — Arata Isozaki. Arata Isozaki: Architecture 1960-1990. p104. | |
