Ishinomaki Cultural Center

Sou Fujimoto Architects 


The Maruhon Makiart Terrace – Ishinomaki Cultural Center seeks to express the recovery of Ishinomaki, a city in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, that was much damaged by the earthquake and tsunami that hit the country in 2011. The different programs – auditorium, public galleries, learning spaces, and an exhibition area – follow one another linearly along a narrow 170-meter-long lobby that breaks up to flexibly adapt to the human scale. Looking like small houses with their pitched roofs, the volumes present chimney shapes that provide natural airing and lighting.
