The document provides information on the Matsumoto Performing Arts Centre designed by architect Toyo Ito. Key details include: - The project site was unusually shaped, stretching north to south. Ito placed the stage facing north to avoid turning the back of the building to the residential area south of the site. - The centre contains one large hall seating 1800 and one small hall seating 240 for local events. - Circulation spaces like the lobby allow the narrow site shape to be forgotten. Rehearsal rooms are located on the fifth floor above the rear stage and lobby. - Findings note the double height entrance space, linear circulation patterns, emphasis on scale and proportion between spaces, and use

4. • The biggest challenge was
in finding a way to fit the
entire program into an
unusually shaped site that
stretches from north to
south like a wine bottle.
• Although intuitively this
would have placed the
stage at the back edge of
the site, such a
configuration would turn
the back of the building
toward the residential area
to the south.
• comprised of one small and
one large performance hall

19. 1. A large space envelop and contain a smaller
space within its volume.
2. The larger enveloping space serves as three
dimensional field for the smaller space
contained it
3. The contained space differ in form from the
enveloping space in order to strengthen its
image as a free standing volume
4. This contrast indicate a functional differences

Space to human mass relationship
1. Lack of big opening give the mass a solid look.
2. Solidness is reduced by the greater curvature

Concept
•Traditionally museums
•containers that subtly told their use and clearly told how to use them.
•had order, balance in composition, oftentimes symmetry and discernible entrances.
•I M PEI rejected the traditional notion
•experience sculpture in three dimensions by moving around it.
•to discover how to enter the building and be delighted by the spaces we find.
•does not readily tell us how to use it, how to enter it or what to expect.
•in a very different way, tell us that it is about art.
•ells us we should look at buildings and art from a different perspective
•asks us to explore and question what we think art,
or sculpture, or spaces, or buildings should be.
•begins as a search for the front door becomes
•a journey to experience art and architecture from a new point of view.

27. 1. considered a work of art in
itself.
2. perceived as a piece of
sculpture placed on a
podium that one walks
around.
3. difficult to find the
entrance – almost forcing
visitors to walk around it to
experience the structure.

Spatial quality
1. Elevated base plan: A horizontal plane
elevated above the ground established
vertical surface along its edges that reinforce
the visual separation between its field and
surrounding ground.
2. Depressed base plan : A horizontal plane
depressed into the ground plane utilizes the
vertical surfaces of lowered to define a
volume of space
3. Over head plan : a horizontal plane located
overhead define a volume of space between
itself and the ground plane

Spatial quality
1. Without any interlocking Adjacent spaces
Make the whole project
2. stand free within its site but extend its interior spaces to
merge with private exterior spaces
3. the slots of space defined by rectangular galleries 1are
modulated by altering the spacing and configuration
4. external voids are used as circulation paths
5. spaces are adjacent to each other

1. Stand as a distinct from in its space and
dominate its site
2. Stand as a positive form in negative space
3. Different mass is grouped as a clustered form
4. The unadorned corners of the form emphasize
the volume of their mass
5. Parts of the museum are related with one
another in a consistent manner
