The Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art sits on the waterfront in Kobe and was constructed in 2002 as part of the cities post-earthquake revitalization.
Earlier I posted on one of the features of the architecture, the spiral staircase
The museum primarily consists of 3 glass structures each with an overhanging roof. The 3 structures are set on a base of white granite with steps that lead down to the waterfront.
The museum was designed by Tadao Ando and has more than a passing resemblance to his Fort Worth Museum he built a little later.
