Cultural Landscape of Tokyo, Japan

Wired.com
Tokyo National Museum is the largest and specializing in traditional Japanese art. It includes National Museum of Western Art, National Museum of Science and Ueno Zoo. Tokyo’s first comprehensive solo exhibition includes details of the 16th century chapel of Saint Vigor De Mieux “the chapel of Apple”. It has involved relocation, border transgression, and creation that respects the scenery within the site and gives play to the structure of the existing culture.
Architecture in Tokyo has largely been shaped by Tokyo’s history. First was in the Great Kanto earthquake and later after extensive firebombing in World War II. Recently, Japan has experienced 9.0 magnitude earthquakes. Many Buildings, houses, and parks have been destroyed completely. Japan is temporarily facing those damaging issues, but Japan will rebuild the architecture and recover from the damages anytime soon.
