Art coexisting with nature
Keith Haring Collection in Jomon Forest, Kagoshima, Japan Atsushi Kitagawara Architects house the contemporary Keith Haring collection whilst not disturbing its historical surroundings One of AKA’s main themes was to propose how human beings can contribute to the natural surroundings in a positive and inventive way. The experience of the museum starts with the landscape. While the site reminds the visitors of the origin of the Japanese culture, they can also appreciate the surrounding art. The ancient culture is no longer just things from the past. The contemporary works of Keith Haring with AKA triggers the design to evoke ‘vital energies’ and ‘primitive minds’ of ancient Japan. They call this ‘creative succession’, which provides ‘creative sustainability’ to the site. The project awakes old memories and opens up to a harmonious coexistence of the nature and human activities. |
