Kunibiki Messe
The Kunibiki Messe is a large convention and conference center up in Matsue.
Kunibiki means "land pulling", and refers to an ancient Izumo legend. Messe is the German word for "Fair".
It opened in 1992 and was designed by Shin Takamatsu.
We have a lot of buildings by Takamatsu in Shimane as he is a local man, from Nima.
It doesnt look like much from a distance, but close up one can discern something interesting inside......

ReplyDeleteWell, what can I say? I think it's a good building. Everything is brilliant and we can't ignore this kind of technology, specially if we are studying architecture. This'll be an important tool to learn about this techniques.
