 One of the pre-recruiting events for the "Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum 2015" held on November 1, "Ginza's Modern and Contemporary Building Tour!" (1 10:30-12:00 English course) I will introduce you. 

Modern Ginza began with the construction of brick streets in the Meiji period. A region that is always rich in enterprising spirit, and has embodyed the latest architecture that embodies advanced technology, aesthetic trends, and ideas about urban space.

The Great Kanto Earthquake, the Great Tokyo Air Raid, and the constant development and rebuilding after the war have lost many famous buildings and landmarks that have been popular with people, and still have impressive buildings.

In addition, a number of buildings since 2000, designed by prominent contemporary architects from Japan and abroad, will also delight your eyes.

An event designed with the aim of rediscovering such rich architectural assets and urban space.

The title is "Let's walk and learn about Ginza's freshly-made assets!" 。 

1 Shizuoka Shimbun, Shizuoka Hoso Building, 2 Dentsu Ginza Building, 3 Yasuaki Elementary School, 4 Sony Building, 5 Maison Hermes, 6 Louis Vuitton Ginza Namiki-dori St. Store, 7 Kojunsha Building, 8 Daiichi Sugawara Building, 9 Tokyo Ginza Shiseido Building, 9 Tokyo Ginza Shiseido Building, 10 Building, 1.

The guide is Yasushi Zenno, an architectural historian.

Inspired by five-storied pagoda, the so-called "curtain wall" with about 13,000 45cm square glass blocks on the outer wall, the monument of a knight straddling the horse on the top floor, the monument of the wind of the courtyard "Dedicated in space", the new design of the Kawasaki Maison Hermes, which has been designed with detail in detail, such as the new display on the glass wall, the glass.

The "Kawasaki Brand Design Building" has a sense of sight, but the building used to be home to the Kappo cuisine "Sakeshi Koko" directly managed by Nishiyama Sake Brewery in Tamba City ("Kokomi").

I have a deep impression.
