  2. st century museum of contemporary art ,kanazawa,japan • “The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa is an enormous catalytic "device", the purpose of which is to convey the "psychological products" of these three C's (C's of "Consciousness," "Collective Intelligence" and "Co-existence“), to visitors, to ensure their effect and to revitalize everyone that comes into contact with the museum”. The low-rise, 112.5m-diameter glass circle is a beautiful, neutral piece of geometry, an idealised ovum that can be entered from four sides, with views through the glass skin extending deep into the building.

The configuration of the blocks within the embracing circle could easily be altered, and galleries could be made to function separately or in groups. The purity of their geometric forms makes the plan feel arbitrary, like a dense piece of city without a high street or plaza, pleasing and disorientating. There is no didactic sequence, no inherent narrative, allowing the visitor to make his or her own choices and discoveries 21
