Summary

Three facilities, "Kochi Library", "Library of Kochi Voice and Braille" and "Kochi Mirai Science Museum" collaborate with each other, aiming to deepen people's exchanges, contribute to lifelong learning and cultural development built.
We put light on a wide wooden louver stacked in four stages on the outer circumference of the building, made an exterior lighting like a tree, expressing calm appearance and dignity as a symbol of new intelligence in a simple modeling. There is no doubt that the night view of the new complex will play a role in the bustle of the Yosakoi festival held every August.
