Kyoto Art Center
Recreating an elementary school as a new center for culture and the arts
Preserving and Reviving Rich European Design
The old Kyoto Municipal Meirei Elementary School was built in 1931 and boasts a rich design with European-style elements. Its architectural heritage has earned it high praise, and it has been newly renovated as an art center.
Renovation that preserved the original image as much as possible
In carrying out the renovation, we not only satisfied the new requirements but also preserved the cultural value while ensuring that the original appearance was retained, and we carried out the renovation with the utmost respect for both the original and the preserved elements, taking into account both the preservation and regeneration aspects.
