Kengo kuma's  'kyushu geibun kan main building' creates a gateway to a museum and cultural center situated on a vast landscape in fukuoka, japan. the building is informed by traditional japanese art such as origami--seen through its many folded planes defining several courtyards and passages--while enveloping interior spaces for the creation, exhibition, and exploration of art and culture. most of the architecture is comprised of single story volumes with ceilings which reflect the angularity of the exterior roof, occasionally opening up to reveal a mezzanine or second floor above.
