We have updated the project page on our website for the exhibition "Architecture Connecting II – Memoryscapes", currently on view at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark.
As the second installment of the Architecture Connecting exhibition series, Memoryscapes focuses on memory and landscape, rethinking architecture as a practice that connects human perception, society, and the environment.
This edition brings together two studios—ATTA and DnA_Design and Architecture, led by Xu Tiantian—who are exploring “Complex Networks,” uncovering stories embedded in sites and landscapes and reconnecting the past, present, and future.
The exhibition is on view through May 17, 2026.

Sea of Time – TOHOKU is a project by contemporary artist Tatsuo Miyajima, dedicated to honoring the victims of the 3.11 disaster, preserving the memory of the earthquake, and reflecting on the future together. The blinking LED numbers, symbolizing the eternity of life, carry the thoughts and feelings of each participant. Through time-setting workshops held so far, nearly 3,000 people have recalled their most cherished memories and expressed them as LED seconds.
ATTA is designing the museum that will serve as the permanent home for this work. While raising the necessary funds for the museum remains a major challenge, the project continues to invite supporters through the “Support Artist” program, which positions contributors as key partners.
Donations are used to cover production costs, museum construction, and the creation of community spaces for local residents and visitors. Join us as a “Support Artist” to help carry this work and the museum into the future.

Construction of the Pool & Spa has begun at Usina de Arte in northeastern Brazil. The pool’s graceful curves are slowly taking shape, harmonizing with the lush natural surroundings.
Once a thriving sugar factory, this site fell into disuse over time. The current project transforms the old industrial grounds into a water-filled landscape embraced by the jungle, carefully preserving the existing trees as the pool finds its place.
The design seeks to create a tranquil sanctuary where remnants of the industrial past blend seamlessly with contemporary architecture, all in harmony with nature.

The 〈TALIESIN® HOMAGE – Archaeological Lamp〉, created by ATTA in collaboration with YAMAGIWA, has been released. To mark the occasion, a talk show was held to celebrate its presentation.
The lamp takes as its starting point the historical context in which Frank Lloyd Wright drew inspiration from Maya archaeological sites to shape his works. It reinterprets Wright’s Taliesin philosophy through an archaeological lens, resulting in a design that bridges history and contemporary innovation.
The work embodies our concept of “Archaeology of the Future,” combining modern technology with historical memory to create a luminous monument that transcends time and introduces a striking presence to any space.

We are thrilled to announce the release of the TALIESIN® HOMAGE – Archaeological Lamp, developed in collaboration with YAMAGIWA. This lamp reinterprets Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic Taliesin 2 through an archaeological lens, paying tribute to Wright’s own fascination with Mayan temples—an inspiration we also draw from the Mayan civilization. ATTA vertically stacks monolithic, mortar-cast blocks as an homage to Wright’s textile block construction, creating a structure evocative of ancient monuments. Integrated LEDs cast layered light and shadow across the textured surfaces, forging a silent dialogue between past and present. The design embodies our concept - “Archaeology of the Future”, fusing contemporary technology with historical memory to transcend time.

We are pleased to announce the publication of "Architecture and Choreography: Collaborations in Dance, Space, and Time" by Beth M. Weinstein. This book examines the field of archi-choreographic experiments, highlighting unique interdisciplinary encounters and performed events generated through collaborations between architects and choreographers.
Forty case studies spanning four decades provide evidence of the diverse motivations behind these creative endeavors. The book features collaborations such as Lucinda Childs and Frank O. Gehry/Gehry Partners; Frédéric Flamand and Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R); Flamand and Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA); Wayne McGregor and John Pawson; Kota Yamazaki and Toyo Ito & Associates, Architects; Flamand and Jean Nouvel/AJN; Jo Kanamori and Tsuyoshi Tane; Richard Siegal and François Roche; Forsythe and Nikolaus Hirsch & Michel Müller, among others.
One of the highlighted cases is the collaboration between Jo Kanamori, director of Noism, choreographer, and dancer, and Tsuyoshi Tane. This partnership is explored within the theme that interrogates space and the role of spatial dispositifs, institutions, and sites, including their hidden and overt conditions, as conceptual drivers and structures that subvert, trouble, unsettle, and remember.

This exhibition features one of the greatest furniture designers of 20th-century Denmark, Poul Kjærholm (1929–1980). The works of Kjærholm stand out due to his preference for combining hard materials such as stone and metal, a choice that was unusual in his time. However, the rigid profiles never give off a cold impression; instead, they evoke a subtle tension in the space. Kjærholm’s timeless clean lines and minimalist beauty resonate with Japanese architecture, garnering continued support among Japanese enthusiasts.
The exhibition will showcase a collection primarily curated from the extensive research and chair collection of Professor Noritsugu Oda (Honorary Professor at Tokai University). It will be the first of its kind in Japan to exhibit Kjærholm’s most influential works. Kjærholm’s design philosophy and refined aesthetics of the furniture will be presented meticulously in an exhibition space designed by ATTA.

Tane Tsuyoshi is invited to give a talk which is based on an approach he calls ‘Archaeology of the Future’ for the Great Exhibition Road Festival.
During the talk, Tane explores how this concept informs some of his major works. These include the Estonian National Museum (2016, developed by DGT. Dorell.Ghotmeh.Tane / Architects), which incorporates a Soviet military runway, creating a pathway that connects Estonian memories to the future without erasing scars from the past; the Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art (2020), which preserves and develops a 100-year-old red brick warehouse in Aomori Prefecture, Japan; and current projects including the Imperial Hotel Tokyo (to be completed in 2036). Tane also discusses his contributions to the exhibition Design Discoveries: Towards a Design Museum Japan, which is on display at Japan House London from 15 May to 8 September. Tane designed the exhibition and, as one of 7 guest contributors, presents his own design discovery: prehistoric Jōmon villages built 10,000 years ago in Iwate, Japan.
The presentation is part of a talk series held in the Dyson School of Engineering’s Design Innovation Zone as part of the Great Exhibition Road Festival.

Clay House has been published in Architectural Record and has been named house of the month, written by Naomi Pollock.

With its rigorous 'monomateriality' both internally and externally and its high level of craftsmanship in its finishes, Clay house was the result of our researching a concept of "being one as being many." We strived to establish a harmonious relationship between the external landscape and the internal environment while securing the maximum space.

The idea to build a garden house on the Vitra Campus was initiated by Vitra Chairman Emeritus Rolf Fehlbaum. The building which is direct proximity of the Oudolf Garten, combines a rooftop viewing platform for Campus visitors and a meeting room for the gardeners who tend the grounds. Tsuyoshi Tane understood that this project was small in scale, but large in meaning. This is reflected in the Paris based architect’s unique design approach, which is based on an intensive research process that explores the local context in order to utilize traditional handicrafts as well as regional resources. Like an archaeologist, Tane started with a long period of exploration, researching the »memory of the place« where the project was being planned. Tsuyoshi Tane calls this approach »Archaeology of the Future«.

The publication »Tane Garden House« provides a deep insight into the design process that stretched over several years. It documents the creation of the architectural project, including unrealised models, as well as sketches drawn by Tsuyoshi Tane. The appealing softcover book in a handy format does not only excite those interested in architecture, but also serves as a source of inspiration for the topic of building in the future.

The exihibiton "Tane Garden House" starts at the Vitra Campus today. It's dedicated our latest project, Tane Garden House has been finally constructed on the Vitra Campus in last June.
Like an archaeologist, Tane started with a long period of exploration, researching the »memory of the place« where the project was being planned. Tsuyoshi Tane calls this approach »Archaeology of the Future«. The presentation in the Vitra Design Museum Gallery reveals how such archaeological research and the ensuing creative process gave rise to the final building on the Vitra Campus, the exhibited architectural models demonstrate Tane’s engagement with the garden house typology, from the aristocratic pavilion to the utilitarian tool shed. The result is a contemporary building that strives to minimize its ecological footprint within the local conditions. The exhibition takes an analogous approach, exclusively using materials recycled from the Garden House construction.
This exhibition will be open until From April 14, 2024.

From November 18, 2023 to April 14, 2024, Vitra Design Gallery will host "Tane Garden House" exhibition at the Vitra Campus.
The presentation «Tsuyoshi Tane: The Garden House» at the Vitra Design Museum Gallery is dedicated to the recently constructed Tane Garden House on the Vitra Campus. With a footprint of barely 15 square metres, the house combines a rooftop viewing platform for Campus visitors and a meeting room for the gardeners who tend the grounds. Tsuyoshi Tane understood that this project was small in scale, but large in meaning. This is reflected in the Japanese architect’s unique design approach, which is based on an intensive research process that explores the local context in order to utilize traditional handicrafts as well as regional resources. The exhibition, which was conceived by the architect, presents study models, architectural mock-ups and drawings of the building, along with impressions of the close collaboration with local artisans.

We are pleased to announce that the construction of the Clay House has been completed in August 2023. The environment of the project provides houses located on a gently undulating hilly terrain in the city. The Clay house has a prominent corner. On the gently undulating site, the central part of the house is separated from the surrounding areas and the four corners are close to the site boundary. These four corners create a stance as a corner of the city. From the inside, they become a place for expansion or margin for each room. In this project, we have been searching for "being one as being many". We tried to find the relationship between the external landscape and the internal environment while securing the maximum amount of space.

The world-renowned second-generation main building of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo, popularly known as the "The FLW Imperial," and designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the three great masters of contemporary architecture, celebrates the 100th anniversary of its opening on 1st September 2023. The Wright property was dubbed a "jewel of the Orient" for its extraordinary architectural qualities, and which until its closing in 1967, served as a stage for the birth of numerous hospitality industry characteristics, including hotel-based weddings and culinary promotions that introduced foreign food culture to the Japanese public.
ATTA is now working on the new design of the forth generation of the Main Building which inherits the "jewel of the Orient" concept, which was used to describe the second generation of the Wright building. Construction of the Main Building will begin in 2031 and is expected to finish in 2036. Returning to the tradition of grand hotels, the new Main Building will be dedicated entirely to a program of utmost hospitality and will present the future of grand hotel.
On this occasion, the Japan Times published the Imperial Hotel entitled "Frank Lloyd Wright’s Imperial Hotel enters the history books" which included interviews of Tsuyoshi Tane.

It was almost three years ago that Rolf Fehlbaum, Chairman of Vitra, took Tsuyoshi Tane for a drive around Weil am Rhein, talking about his childhood and his memories of the fields on which the Vitra Campus can be found today. It was at this moment that the idea for a new structure was born: adhering to the concept of ‘Archaeology of the Future’, which believes that architecture begins from the memory of the place where it stands.

We are delighted to announce that the Tane Garden House will be unveiled on the Vitra Campus in June 2023. It is located between the Umbrella House by Kazuo Shinohara and the Oudolf Garden, adding a new architectural highlight to the Vitra Campus. The Garden House is a small wooden construction and a generous sign for the future of sustainability. It is designed with ‘overground’ materials such as thatch, stone, and wood, and is built together with local craftsmen, which will also provide the continuous care of architecture. The rooftop observatory opens up to the 360 degree of Vitra Campus while the garden below is used by the Vitra employees for their own vegetal gardening.
In autumn 2023, a special exhibition on the Tane Garden House project will be held at the Vitra Design Museum Gallery.

ATTA's solo exhibition 'Archaeology of the Future' started at the House of Art České Budějovice on the 9th of June 2023. We are very honoured that it's the first time to have ATTA exhibition in the House of Art České Budějovice, following our solo exhibitions in Japan, São Paulo, and Basel.
The exhibition pulls us into a poetic space filled with diverse architectural designs ranging from small, intimate projects all the way to the studio’s most fundamental realizations. Along with “archaeological” items and remarkable models, the countless images, photographs, and sketches clearly demonstrate Tane’s thought process and illustrate the path he has chosen to follow. Everything is a part of the process by which he engages in archaeological research in line with his “manifesto.” It opens until the 27th of August, 2023. We look forward to your visit.

The most elemental of furniture pieces, Artek’s humble three-legged Stool 60 designed by Alvar Aalto, celebrates its 90th anniversary in 2023. Born of modernist ideals and Finnish innovation, its great legacy and continued relevance owe much to Alvar Aalto’s original vision for a universal object made entirely from native birch wood. Remaining in continuous production since 1933, Stool 60 has barely changed in either material or form, yet it continues to transcend both time and fashion. Deliberately informal, it is not tied to specific functions or settings but travels easily between all spheres of private homes and public spaces. Its simplicity and honesty have ensured its timelessness; its ingenious construction and durability allow each stool to age with grace.

TSUYOSHI TANE – STOOL 60 SLEEPING BEAUTY
Inspired by the concept of graceful aging, while paying homage to the near-century-old trees used in the making of each stool, Tsuyoshi Tane’s Stool 60 Sleeping Beauty explores ways to capture the patina of age and experience in a new edition. Manifestations of time and place are important to Tane’s architectural practice. Embracing what he describes as “the archaeology of the future” he digs into the memories embedded in each project’s location and integrates these into his creative process.

Srool 60 Sleeping Beauty
For Stool 60 Sleeping Beauty, his research led him back to the actual earth. By burying raw birch sections in soils collected from different sites in Japan, he examined the effect each had on the untreated wood. Sections submerged in calcium-rich soil took on a red hue, while volcanic- or aluminum-laden soil resulted in the wood taking on black or grey tones respectively. This homage to the geo-histories rooted in the soil lends materiality to time and is a poetic response to the time-honored Stool 60.

Our latest book, Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art, is finally available worldwide. This book presents the Complete Record of the Revival and Transformation of a 100-Year-Old Brick Warehouse into a Museum of Contemporary Art.
The Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art is the first museum in Japan designed by Paris-based and internationally active architect Tsuyoshi Tane. This book reveals the full story of how Tane's work on “architecture that inherits memory” transformed a century-old brick warehouse into a contemporary art museum. Starting with the architectural concept, which derives from the history of Hirosaki, this book traces the evolution of brick warehouses, details the archaeological research, the spectacular on-site demolition, and careful restoration of the existing building, before finally showcasing the museum situated in the local Hirosaki landscape upon completion. Focusing on new approaches to museum management, including program organization and the use of space, this book records efforts to transmit new ways of thinking about memory and inheritance through architecture from Hirosaki to the rest of the world. This is the story of an art museum that was created from a revitalized brick warehouse, revealing one example of architecture that connects past and future as Japan’s precious old scenery disappears.

KYOTOGRAPHIE, held in the spring in the ancient city of Kyoto,is one of the few truly international artistic events taking place in Japan. While honoring its millennium of history and tradition, Kyoto is at the same time a leading light of culture on an international scale. Yuriko Takagi was working in Europe as a fashion designer when, on one of many trips to Morocco, she became fascinated with the medium of photography. Like the simultaneous existence of two different worlds, which the title Parallel World suggests, this exhibition comprises two different series shown in parallel in the Nijo-jo Castle Ninomaru Palace Daidokoro Kitchen and Okiyodokoro Kitchen. ATTA is desiging Yuriko Takagi exhibiton at the heritage of Nijo-jo castle.

Stool 60 is created in 1923, Designed by Alver Aalot - Architect. To mark the 90th anniversary, special editions of the stool have been developed by Artek’s own design team (Kontrasti and Loimu) and in collaboration with architect Tsuyoshi Tane (Sleeping Beauty), and design studio Formafantasma (Villi). Each edition commemorates Stool 60’s great virtues – its unique construction and responsible production values, the beauty and variety to be found in Finnish wood, Stool 60’s ageless longevity as well as its low ecological impact.

CRAFT SAKE WEEK 2023 is opend from April 21st to 30th at Roppongi Hills Arena. The project started in 2016 after organiser Hidetoshi Nakata strongly felt the splendour and potential of Japanese culture, including sake, agriculture and crafts, which he encountered while touring the 47 prefectures of Japan. The project brings together sake breweries carefully selected by experts led by Hidetoshi Nakata, who has visited more than 400 breweries across the country, and some of Japan's most famous restaurants, which boast the highest number of Michelin stars in the world. This is an event where you can truly experience Japan's world-class culinary culture.
ATTA designed the pavilion for CRAFT SAKE WEEK 2023 with the concept of "rice and sake, which have supported and nurtured Japanese culture since ancient times. When numbers were not yet used in daily life, the Masu served as a module to measure quantities, which were then distributed, shared, and used to drive society and the economy. With this background, we proposed to use the "masu - measurement tool" as the main design to express the history of eminent Japanese culture. Approximately 3,000 "Masu of Mass" were produced for this event, creating a space surrounded by wood, light and fragrance.

After the completion of the Vitra - Oudolf Garden in 2021, the Vitra Campus opened a new public access from the west. There was no path from the parking lot to the garden, and the soil was damaged by the visitors crossing the grass. Vitra commissionned ATTA to design a steppingstones path to smooth the connection.
Visitors are invited to approach Vitra by walking rhythmically along a path lined up with irregular shaped steppingstones. Based on the idea of a fossil-like discovering, archaeological steppingstones are combining local materials found around the stone manufacturer's location such as screws, nuts, pebbles, natural stones, glass and brick fragments, just like excavated materials from the Vitra campus site.

For the fifth edition, CRAFT SAKE WEEK will be held at Roppongi Hills Arena in the upcoming spring from April 21st to 30th. The event provides a space to enjoy 110 sake breweries which are carefully selected throughout Japan. Hidetoshi Nakata, President of Japan Craft Sake Company and former Japanese National football player, has visited all 47 prefectures since 2009 and has been involved in Japanese culture, tradition, agriculture and manufacturing. CRAFT SAKE WEEK started in 2016 and aims to present an opportunity to re-discover world-class Japanese culture and technology. We are pleased to announce that ATTA is designing the event venue.
Our concept embodies the idea that ‘rice and sake have supported and enshrined Japanese culture since ancient time’. To express the wealth of culture and craftsmanship produced from Japan’s natural environment, he has chosen the concept of “Mass = Masu”, and will use approximately 3,000 “Masu” (a wooden box-shaped vessel, which can hold one square measure of rice, that has been used since ancient times), so that an overwhelming volume of Masu will envelop visitors, while the soft wood and lighting will bring to a sense of abundance to the event space.

Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art has received the 32nd BELCA Award in the Best Renovation category, sponsored by the Long Life Building Promotion Association.
The BELCA Awards are given to architectural buildings that have been properly maintained and preserved over a long period of time or have undergone outstanding renovations. The following is a jury critique, and we are very pleased with the comments:
As a PFI project, the total project cost, design and construction requirements were determined by the work requirement standard, and the museum's operating portion is covered by user fees, making this project more challenging than the renovation and operation of ordinary buildings. Even with these restrictions, the project was able to achieve both economic efficiency and energy conservation while taking care to prevent condensation inside the building. The museum's originality and ingenuity can be seen in many aspects of the project, such as the blackboard fence surrounding the outdoor units, the appropriate temperature and humidity control grade for the storage rooms, etc. The official award ceremony will take a place in May 2023.

Celebrating Stool 60. To mark the 90th anniversary, special editions of the stool have been developed. Each edition commemorates Stool 60's great virtues—its unique construction and responsible production values, the beauty and variety to be found in Finnish wood, Stool 60's ageless longevity as well as its low ecological impact. The first anniversary edition to launch is Stool 60 Kontrasti which celebrates the ingenious construction processes Alvar Aalto first realised in 1933.
The 90th anniversary of Stool 60, ATTA was commissioned to design Stool 60." Sleeping Beauty" is inspired by the respect for the 100-year-old tree from which the stool is made and its beauty over time. The Finnish birch seat and legs were left unpainted in the soil to experiment the effect of the soil in the wood. The wood laid in soil with finer Japanese soil particles developed a colour tone rooted in the properties of the respective soil. Stool 60 Sleeping Beauty will be available in limited quantities from 18 March in advance at Dover Street Market Ginza and will be officially launched at the end of April to coincide with the fourth anniversary of the Artek Tokyo shop in Omotesando.

TOTO GALLERY･MA is the exhibition presents How is Life? ――Designing for our Earth, a special exhibition curated by our Planning and Management Committee members Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, Manabu Chiba, Seng Kuan, and Tsuyoshi Tane.

This exhibition themed “Designing for our Earth” will showcase diverse precedents from various times and places that respond to the question “How is Life?” posed by the curators. Examples include the Capital Agricole exhibition held in France in 2018, which featured vivid illustrations of a future where Paris and its surrounding cities are interwoven with agricultural sites, and the Toson Memorial Hall (Gifu, Japan; design: Yoshiro Taniguchi), which was built in a postwar resource-deprived mountain village in 1947 by local men, women, and children, whose deep adoration for the late hometown author it commemorates struck a resonance with its architect.

By introducing 21 projects around the world that offer possibilities that depart from traditional conceptions of architecture and the city—regardless of whether they are of the past, currently being developed, or still foreign to Japan—we hope that the exhibition not only opens up diverse interpretations and further discussions but also sparks a new awareness in each and every visitor, inspiring all to explore new perspectives for living together with our Earth.

EAST-EAST 5
The “East-East” architectural project, which is open to the public, has laid the foundations for exchanges and professional fellowship between Lithuanian and Japanese architects – it includes lectures, exhibitions, discussions, and workshops for students. Lithuania is the only country in the European Union with such a high level of long-term cooperation with Japan in the field of architecture. “East-East 5” perfectly reflects the international dimension of the Kaunas Architecture Festival and the idea of commemorating the 100th anniversary of bilateral relations between Lithuania and Japan.
Continuing the 20-year tradition of architecture cooperation between the two countries, the East-East 5 Exhibition presents 40 works by architects and architecture studios from Japan and Lithuania. The Exhibition aims to present the architect’s techniques and philosophy as a “Recipe for Recovery” and the architectural process of the best Japanese and Lithuanian architects. ATTA presents two projects in the EAST-EAST exhibition.

The Estonian National Museum opened its doors to visitors in October 2016 and will celebrate its one-millionth visitor this June and will give away a precious set of tailor-made national costumes to mark the occasion.

The Estonian National Museum proves that a landmark doesn't have to be centuries old to make a lasting impression. Visitors will leave with a deeper understanding of the legacy of past generations and see how this innovative museum will safeguard that legacy for decades to come. The museum is also home to a collection of 150 Estonian folk costumes and hosts rotating art shows. Make sure you take a moment to admire the museum's most unique artifact: the oldest Estonian flag in existence, a pre-World War II treasure that was hidden during the Soviet occupation in the chimney of a farmhouse. There are also conference rooms, a cafeteria, and a restaurant in the building. About 500 events are held in and around the museum each year. These include larger open-air concerts and movie nights in the outdoor area during the summer.

Today, the Estonian National Museum becomes the most well-known institution in Estonia.

This book reveals the full story of the entire record of a 100-year-old brick factory turning into a museum of contemporary art and the ATTA's process of how 'Architecture to Inherit Memory', was designed. The architectural concept is derived from the history of Hirosaki, the evolution of brick warehouses and archaeological research. A record of the construction, demolition, analysis and restoration of the existing building. It also looks at new approaches to the management of the museum, such as the organization of programs and the use of space, which will be transmitted from Hirosaki to the rest of the world. The museum traces the revitalization of a brick factory to see how architecture can connect to the future amidst the loss of Japan's old landscape sceneries.

Two years and a half after the collaboration with Italian stone maker Pibamarmi, the pavil-ion “Sound of Marble” is placed in the park of Cantina Ca’ del Bosco. The pavilion fits into the context of the park establishing a dialogue with nature and the artworks by artists such as Igor Mitoraj and Arnaldo Pomodoro.
The concept of Sound of Marble is based on the interaction between marble, sound and light as well as investigating the ancestral qualities of the stone as material in relation to innovative chal-lenges to archive the thinnest stones walls that are curved and self-supported all together. Listen-ing to the sound of stone over millions years, listening to the sounds of nature, of birds and winds reflected on the marble. The rain changes the appearance of stone grains which shows nature gives us a chance to encounter the living life of our planet. Grazie Pibamarmi!

A project to explore, through art, the aesthetic capital of cities across Thailand, the artwork at the Phimai National Museum was chosen as the location to be the place for an installation in the Korat Biennale. Fragments of Phimai heritage, an ancient Khmer temple from the 11th and 12th centuries, are laid to rest in this outdoor museum place. The movement of light waves to orchestrates through time and space, resonating with overtones of sutras from Buddhist scriptures as if evoking numerous memories of Phimai heritage. It is an experience where light transports us across time and space that has never been experienced yet.

Imperial Hotel Tokyo Rebuilding Plan
The Imperial Hotel was opened in 1890 as a guesthouse for foreign dignitaries as part of the Meiji Government's national policy to promote the modernisation of Japan, in line with the belief of the hotel's first chairman, Eiichi Shibusawa, that the hotel should "respond to and contribute to the needs of society".
The stately Western-style architecture of the first main building, together with the adjacent Rokumeikan, became a symbol of Japan's quest to become a Western country. The second main building, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, a leading figure in modern architecture, opened in 1923 (Taisho 12) and was commonly known as the "Wright Building", a historical building that pioneered the modernisation of the capital city of Tokyo. The present main building, which was rebuilt for the 1970 Osaka World's Fair is examples of the advanced use and complexification and an advanced example of this. This project is the fourth building of a new main building to ensure that the hotel will continue to be the centrepiece of a 'Made in Japan' hotel for the next 100 or 200 years.

The president Mr. Hideya Sadayasu said, “We highly evaluated Mr Tane's approach of "deeply considering the history of the Imperial Hotel, and based on that, creating architecture that will lead to the future". Furthermore, as Mr Tane has expressed his originality through completely different designs for each project, the decision to appoint him was based on the hope that he would create originality and demonstrate his determination to work with talented young architects to create the Imperial Hotel of the future.

Construction of the Main Building will begin in 2031 and is expected to finish in 2036. Returning to the tradition of grand hotels, the new Main Building will be dedicated entirely to a program of utmost hospitality.

A press conference was held at the Imperial Hotel Tokyo in the Peacock Room to announce the design of the new Imperial Hotel building. The new main building of the Imperial Hotel will be the fourth generation of the hotel, to be completed in 2036.

ATTA-Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects was chosen to be the design architect for the new main building, the fourth generation of the Imperial Hotel. In the words of President Hideya Sadayasu, “We considered international architects from Japan and abroad. Among them, we chose architects who are promising, young, experienced in the world, and who share and embody our desire to challenge the future while inheriting our history.”

The tree is architecture and architecture is a tree - the “Arboretum, l’arbre comme architecture” exhibition opened at the Arc en rêve architecture centre in Bordeaux. In the wake of the philosophical and ecological debate that is helping the plant world reclaim its central role, the exhibition aims to rethink the relationship between architecture and trees, not as passive elements or sources of building materials but as living creatures with which we need to negotiate in a logic of symbiosis and cohabitation. “22 stories of trees” make up a historical and geographical journey in which design, architecture, landscape and urban planning projects become virtuous metaphors for a more inclusive society in which human beings do not just take up space but share it with nature.
ATTA participates in this exhibition and presents the 'Kofun Stadium' archaeological research and the model.

As part of the exhibition «Tsuyoshi Tane: Archaeology of the Future» (17.10.2020-28.2.2021), the S AM Swiss Architecture Museum is hosting a triple lecture and discussion event on the topic of «Context, Pretext, Subtext».

With:
* Tsuyoshi Tane (Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects)
* Catherine Gay (GayMenzel)
* Emanuel Christ (Christ & Gantenbein).

Paris, Monthey, Basel: the architects invited to discuss «Context, Pretext, Subtext» not only operate from very different locations in terms of culture, demographics, and density, but also divergent understandings about the notion of context. Inspired by Tsuyoshi Tane’s exhibition at the S AM, this event questions how context is understood in architectural discourse. Does context have to be exclusively defined in relation to an already existing physical fabric, or can it also be created through an interpretation of its spatial potential, which is yet to be articulated?

Language: English

At the Hôtel de la Marine, the decision was made to restore the Intendant’s apartments back to how they were at the end of the 18th century by removing traces of the navy ministry’s time there. This process was helped by the discovery of original paintings beneath the layers of more recent paintings, restoration of these, and use of materials and techniques from the time. The concept of ATTA for the Al Thani Collection Museum Space will be located in the Hôtel de la Marine, and within a monument of more than 12,700m², the museum space of 400 m2 will now be entirely dedicated to the Al Thani Collection which is aiming to open in 2021.

After winning Grand Prix AFEX 2016 with Estonian National Museum, we are honoured that Todoroki House in Valley has been shortlisted for 2020 AFEX Grand Prix Projects. The prize is given every 2 years by AFEX in partnership with the French Ministry of Culture, the French Ministry of Foreign affairs and the “Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine”.
The design of the house, located in Tokyo, has been defined by focusing on these two contrasting environmental conditions and through the studies of primitive architecture pieces from both humid and arid areas around the world. ATTA attempted to combine the various building types that have been shaped into these wet and dry environments into a single house.

The project is exhibited at the Palais Royal until 15 December 2020.

The extravagant sculptural forms that were so conspicuous in the heyday of postmodernism coincided with a period of unprecedented prosperity in Japan, so after the collapse of the economic bubble at the beginning of the 1990s, extreme forms were avoided, and instead, attention was given to designs that were based on closely reading their surrounding environments. Meanwhile, after the experiences of great earthquakes, community relations have been seen as more important than forms. 

This exhibition introduces once again the possibilities of sculptural form in contemporary Japanese architecture. ATTA exhibits Todoroki House in Valley along with Estonian National Museum.

We are pleased to announce that the exhibition “Timeless Conversations 2020” will be open from June 24 to August 24. This exhibition unites works by contemporary artists working at the forefront of art, photography, design, and architecture with masterpieces of classic Japanese art. The Nikko and Gakko Bosatsu, which symbolise the sun and the moon, respectively, are said to guide and heal people. For this exhibition, Tane has created a light installation befitting these two bodhisattvas. Drawn to the Nikko and Gakko Bosatsu, which amass people’s prayers and relieve them of countless sufferings, he created a space that allows viewers to quietly engage with the statues and experience something on a deep inner level. By reflecting on the past and gazing fixedly at ourselves in the present, we can make the most of our realizations in the future. Here, our memories teach us how to live tomorrow.

For the fifth edition, CRAFT SAKE WEEK will be held at Roppongi Hills Arena in the upcoming spring from 17th to 29th of April for 13 days. The event provides a space to enjoy 130 sake breweries which are carefully selected out of the 1,400 throughout Japan. Hidetoshi Nakata, President of Japan Craft Sake Company and former Japanese National football player, has visited all 47 prefectures since 2009 and has been involved in Japanese culture, tradition, agriculture and manufacturing. CRAFT SAKE WEEK started in 2016 and aims to present an opportunity to re-discover world-class Japanese culture and technology.

We are honoured to announce that ATTA has designed the event venue this year. Our concept embodies the idea that ‘rice and sake have supported and enshrined Japanese culture since ancient time’. Based on this concept, ‘Mass’ was selected as a main direction for the design to express the distinguished Japanese cultural history. ‘Mass’ is the traditional Japanese wood container that is used to drink sake during specific occasions, with a 1,000 year old origin as a measure container for the food. Approximately 6,000 ‘Mass’ were exclusively produced for the event to embrace and create a dramatic space with soft wood and lighting.

Le monde published the article about Restaurant Maison. They described "ATTA gave the restaurant breath that is not found elsewhere in the neighborhood or in the city". The dramatic interior space is covered with floor-to-ceiling reclaimed terracotta; which has a prominent place in the history of French house interiors. ATTA collected 22,000 pieces of terracotta from Bordeaux, Fontainebleau and the south of France. Each piece has a unique expression and history; they are all handmade, going through a cooking process, just like the meals.

The 〈TALIESIN® HOMAGE – Archaeological Lamp〉, created by ATTA in collaboration with YAMAGIWA, has been released. To mark the occasion, a talk show was held to celebrate its presentation.
The lamp takes as its starting point the historical context in which Frank Lloyd Wright drew inspiration from Maya archaeological sites to shape his works. It reinterprets Wright’s Taliesin philosophy through an archaeological lens, resulting in a design that bridges history and contemporary innovation.
The work embodies our concept of “Archaeology of the Future,” combining modern technology with historical memory to create a luminous monument that transcends time and introduces a striking presence to any space.

Opening today, “TYPE-XIV Eugene Studio Project” presented by A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE is on view for three days in Paris. The exhibition venue designed by ATTA – Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects, draws inspiration from Eugene Kangawa’s “Light and Shadow Inside Me” series. It explores the dialogue between light and darkness through two contrasting expressions — sun-faded works in soft turquoise hues and silver-gelatin photograms folded into sculptural forms. ATTA’s spatial design unfolds as a single, continuous fabric, weaving light, shadow, and material into a quiet yet dynamic experience. The exhibition is open for only three days — we encourage you not to miss this special occasion.

We are thrilled to announce the release of the TALIESIN® HOMAGE – Archaeological Lamp, developed in collaboration with YAMAGIWA. This lamp reinterprets Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic Taliesin 2 through an archaeological lens, paying tribute to Wright’s own fascination with Mayan temples—an inspiration we also draw from the Mayan civilization. ATTA vertically stacks monolithic, mortar-cast blocks as an homage to Wright’s textile block construction, creating a structure evocative of ancient monuments. Integrated LEDs cast layered light and shadow across the textured surfaces, forging a silent dialogue between past and present. The design embodies our concept - “Archaeology of the Future”, fusing contemporary technology with historical memory to transcend time.

The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art exhibition series Architecture Connecting focuses on how architecture is connected to science and research within a wide range of other fields of knowledge such as biology, neuroscience and anthropology. The second exhibition in the series Architecture Connecting presents two studios that delve into the past with both precise interventions and broad archaeological investigation.
Architecture’s connections to concepts and mindsets known from anthropology, archaeology and geology are spotlighted in the exhibition with the two studios DnA Architecture and Design (Beijing) and ATTA – Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects (Paris).
The two studios are led by Chinese Xu Tiantian and Japanese Tsuyoshi Tane, who both seek to “excavate” stories about places and landscapes in order to connect past, present and future. To this end, their studios develop new working methods that link social traditions, cultural heritage, craftsmanship and production conditions together in complex networks.

We are pleased to announce the publication of "Architecture and Choreography: Collaborations in Dance, Space, and Time" by Beth M. Weinstein. This book examines the field of archi-choreographic experiments, highlighting unique interdisciplinary encounters and performed events generated through collaborations between architects and choreographers.
Forty case studies spanning four decades provide evidence of the diverse motivations behind these creative endeavors. The book features collaborations such as Lucinda Childs and Frank O. Gehry/Gehry Partners; Frédéric Flamand and Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R); Flamand and Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA); Wayne McGregor and John Pawson; Kota Yamazaki and Toyo Ito & Associates, Architects; Flamand and Jean Nouvel/AJN; Jo Kanamori and Tsuyoshi Tane; Richard Siegal and François Roche; Forsythe and Nikolaus Hirsch & Michel Müller, among others.
One of the highlighted cases is the collaboration between Jo Kanamori, director of Noism, choreographer, and dancer, and Tsuyoshi Tane. This partnership is explored within the theme that interrogates space and the role of spatial dispositifs, institutions, and sites, including their hidden and overt conditions, as conceptual drivers and structures that subvert, trouble, unsettle, and remember.

This exhibition features one of the greatest furniture designers of 20th-century Denmark, Poul Kjærholm (1929–1980). The works of Kjærholm stand out due to his preference for combining hard materials such as stone and metal, a choice that was unusual in his time. However, the rigid profiles never give off a cold impression; instead, they evoke a subtle tension in the space. Kjærholm’s timeless clean lines and minimalist beauty resonate with Japanese architecture, garnering continued support among Japanese enthusiasts.
The exhibition will showcase a collection primarily curated from the extensive research and chair collection of Professor Noritsugu Oda (Honorary Professor at Tokai University). It will be the first of its kind in Japan to exhibit Kjærholm’s most influential works. Kjærholm’s design philosophy and refined aesthetics of the furniture will be presented meticulously in an exhibition space designed by ATTA.

Tane Tsuyoshi is invited to give a talk which is based on an approach he calls ‘Archaeology of the Future’ for the Great Exhibition Road Festival.
During the talk, Tane explores how this concept informs some of his major works. These include the Estonian National Museum (2016, developed by DGT. Dorell.Ghotmeh.Tane / Architects), which incorporates a Soviet military runway, creating a pathway that connects Estonian memories to the future without erasing scars from the past; the Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art (2020), which preserves and develops a 100-year-old red brick warehouse in Aomori Prefecture, Japan; and current projects including the Imperial Hotel Tokyo (to be completed in 2036). Tane also discusses his contributions to the exhibition Design Discoveries: Towards a Design Museum Japan, which is on display at Japan House London from 15 May to 8 September. Tane designed the exhibition and, as one of 7 guest contributors, presents his own design discovery: prehistoric Jōmon villages built 10,000 years ago in Iwate, Japan.
The presentation is part of a talk series held in the Dyson School of Engineering’s Design Innovation Zone as part of the Great Exhibition Road Festival.

Clay House has been published in Architectural Record and has been named house of the month, written by Naomi Pollock.

With its rigorous 'monomateriality' both internally and externally and its high level of craftsmanship in its finishes, Clay house was the result of our researching a concept of "being one as being many." We strived to establish a harmonious relationship between the external landscape and the internal environment while securing the maximum space.

The idea to build a garden house on the Vitra Campus was initiated by Vitra Chairman Emeritus Rolf Fehlbaum. The building which is direct proximity of the Oudolf Garten, combines a rooftop viewing platform for Campus visitors and a meeting room for the gardeners who tend the grounds. Tsuyoshi Tane understood that this project was small in scale, but large in meaning. This is reflected in the Paris based architect’s unique design approach, which is based on an intensive research process that explores the local context in order to utilize traditional handicrafts as well as regional resources. Like an archaeologist, Tane started with a long period of exploration, researching the »memory of the place« where the project was being planned. Tsuyoshi Tane calls this approach »Archaeology of the Future«.

The publication »Tane Garden House« provides a deep insight into the design process that stretched over several years. It documents the creation of the architectural project, including unrealised models, as well as sketches drawn by Tsuyoshi Tane. The appealing softcover book in a handy format does not only excite those interested in architecture, but also serves as a source of inspiration for the topic of building in the future.

The exihibiton "Tane Garden House" starts at the Vitra Campus today. It's dedicated our latest project, Tane Garden House has been finally constructed on the Vitra Campus in last June.
Like an archaeologist, Tane started with a long period of exploration, researching the »memory of the place« where the project was being planned. Tsuyoshi Tane calls this approach »Archaeology of the Future«. The presentation in the Vitra Design Museum Gallery reveals how such archaeological research and the ensuing creative process gave rise to the final building on the Vitra Campus, the exhibited architectural models demonstrate Tane’s engagement with the garden house typology, from the aristocratic pavilion to the utilitarian tool shed. The result is a contemporary building that strives to minimize its ecological footprint within the local conditions. The exhibition takes an analogous approach, exclusively using materials recycled from the Garden House construction.
This exhibition will be open until From April 14, 2024.

From November 18, 2023 to April 14, 2024, Vitra Design Gallery will host "Tane Garden House" exhibition at the Vitra Campus.
The presentation «Tsuyoshi Tane: The Garden House» at the Vitra Design Museum Gallery is dedicated to the recently constructed Tane Garden House on the Vitra Campus. With a footprint of barely 15 square metres, the house combines a rooftop viewing platform for Campus visitors and a meeting room for the gardeners who tend the grounds. Tsuyoshi Tane understood that this project was small in scale, but large in meaning. This is reflected in the Japanese architect’s unique design approach, which is based on an intensive research process that explores the local context in order to utilize traditional handicrafts as well as regional resources. The exhibition, which was conceived by the architect, presents study models, architectural mock-ups and drawings of the building, along with impressions of the close collaboration with local artisans.

How should we live in the era of “prosperity without growth”?
Human activities since the Industrial Revolution have exceeded the planetary boundary, causing climate change and the North-South disparity. How should we live in an era of “prosperity without growth” in line with the natural regenerative capacity of our planet, and how should architecture be in this context? This book summarizes the contents of the ambitious exhibition “How is Life” held at TOTO GALLERY・MA, and includes additional articles and interviews by the supervisors.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Wright building of the Imperial Hotel, Tokyo, The Japan Times featured its history and the 4th generation of the Imperial Hotel, Tokyo whose completion is expected in 2036. As the architect chosen for the rebuilding project, Tsuyoshi states that the goal is not to modernize but to regain the legacy of its origin with respecting the 'jewel of Orient' of Wright, as well as fascinating stories about Wright by the Imperial Hotel and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

We are pleased to announce that the construction of the Clay House has been completed in August 2023. The environment of the project provides houses located on a gently undulating hilly terrain in the city. The Clay house has a prominent corner. On the gently undulating site, the central part of the house is separated from the surrounding areas and the four corners are close to the site boundary. These four corners create a stance as a corner of the city. From the inside, they become a place for expansion or margin for each room. In this project, we have been searching for "being one as being many". We tried to find the relationship between the external landscape and the internal environment while securing the maximum amount of space.

The world-renowned second-generation main building of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo, popularly known as the "The FLW Imperial," and designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the three great masters of contemporary architecture, celebrates the 100th anniversary of its opening on 1st September 2023. The Wright property was dubbed a "jewel of the Orient" for its extraordinary architectural qualities, and which until its closing in 1967, served as a stage for the birth of numerous hospitality industry characteristics, including hotel-based weddings and culinary promotions that introduced foreign food culture to the Japanese public.
ATTA is now working on the new design of the forth generation of the Main Building which inherits the "jewel of the Orient" concept, which was used to describe the second generation of the Wright building. Construction of the Main Building will begin in 2031 and is expected to finish in 2036. Returning to the tradition of grand hotels, the new Main Building will be dedicated entirely to a program of utmost hospitality and will present the future of grand hotel.
On this occasion, the Japan Times published the Imperial Hotel entitled "Frank Lloyd Wright’s Imperial Hotel enters the history books" which included interviews of Tsuyoshi Tane.

It was almost three years ago that Rolf Fehlbaum, Chairman of Vitra, took Tsuyoshi Tane for a drive around Weil am Rhein, talking about his childhood and his memories of the fields on which the Vitra Campus can be found today. It was at this moment that the idea for a new structure was born: adhering to the concept of ‘Archaeology of the Future’, which believes that architecture begins from the memory of the place where it stands. The Garden House was unveiled at the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein. The garden house was unveiled at the Vitra Summer Party during Art Basel 2023. The Garden House is constructed with 'overground' materials against underground resources and 'neibourhood' local craftsmanship. The garden house is open to the public and offers a 360° view of the Vitra Campust from its viewing platform.

We are delighted to announce that the Tane Garden House will be unveiled on the Vitra Campus in June 2023. It is located between the Umbrella House by Kazuo Shinohara and the Oudolf Garden, adding a new architectural highlight to the Vitra Campus. The Garden House is a small wooden construction and a generous sign for the future of sustainability. It is designed with ‘overground’ materials such as thatch, stone, and wood, and is built together with local craftsmen, which will also provide the continuous care of architecture. The rooftop observatory opens up to the 360 degree of Vitra Campus while the garden below is used by the Vitra employees for their own vegetal gardening.
In autumn 2023, a special exhibition on the Tane Garden House project will be held at the Vitra Design Museum Gallery.

The most elemental of furniture pieces, Artek’s humble three-legged Stool 60 designed by Alvar Aalto, celebrates its 90th anniversary in 2023. Born of modernist ideals and Finnish innovation, its great legacy and continued relevance owe much to Alvar Aalto’s original vision for a universal object made entirely from native birch wood. Remaining in continuous production since 1933, Stool 60 has barely changed in either material or form, yet it continues to transcend both time and fashion. Deliberately informal, it is not tied to specific functions or settings but travels easily between all spheres of private homes and public spaces. Its simplicity and honesty have ensured its timelessness; its ingenious construction and durability allow each stool to age with grace.

TSUYOSHI TANE – STOOL 60 SLEEPING BEAUTY
Inspired by the concept of graceful aging, while paying homage to the near-century-old trees used in the making of each stool, Tsuyoshi Tane’s Stool 60 Sleeping Beauty explores ways to capture the patina of age and experience in a new edition. Manifestations of time and place are important to Tane’s architectural practice. Embracing what he describes as “the archaeology of the future” he digs into the memories embedded in each project’s location and integrates these into his creative process.

Srool 60 Sleeping Beauty
For Stool 60 Sleeping Beauty, his research led him back to the actual earth. By burying raw birch sections in soils collected from different sites in Japan, he examined the effect each had on the untreated wood. Sections submerged in calcium-rich soil took on a red hue, while volcanic- or aluminum-laden soil resulted in the wood taking on black or grey tones respectively. This homage to the geo-histories rooted in the soil lends materiality to time and is a poetic response to the time-honored Stool 60.

Our latest book, Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art, is finally available worldwide. This book presents the Complete Record of the Revival and Transformation of a 100-Year-Old Brick Warehouse into a Museum of Contemporary Art.
The Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art is the first museum in Japan designed by Paris-based and internationally active architect Tsuyoshi Tane. This book reveals the full story of how Tane's work on “architecture that inherits memory” transformed a century-old brick warehouse into a contemporary art museum. Starting with the architectural concept, which derives from the history of Hirosaki, this book traces the evolution of brick warehouses, details the archaeological research, the spectacular on-site demolition, and careful restoration of the existing building, before finally showcasing the museum situated in the local Hirosaki landscape upon completion. Focusing on new approaches to museum management, including program organization and the use of space, this book records efforts to transmit new ways of thinking about memory and inheritance through architecture from Hirosaki to the rest of the world. This is the story of an art museum that was created from a revitalized brick warehouse, revealing one example of architecture that connects past and future as Japan’s precious old scenery disappears.

KYOTOGRAPHIE, held in the spring in the ancient city of Kyoto,is one of the few truly international artistic events taking place in Japan. While honoring its millennium of history and tradition, Kyoto is at the same time a leading light of culture on an international scale. Yuriko Takagi was working in Europe as a fashion designer when, on one of many trips to Morocco, she became fascinated with the medium of photography. Like the simultaneous existence of two different worlds, which the title Parallel World suggests, this exhibition comprises two different series shown in parallel in the Nijo-jo Castle Ninomaru Palace Daidokoro Kitchen and Okiyodokoro Kitchen. ATTA is desiging Yuriko Takagi exhibiton at the heritage of Nijo-jo castle.

Stool 60 is created in 1923, Designed by Alver Aalot - Architect. To mark the 90th anniversary, special editions of the stool have been developed by Artek’s own design team (Kontrasti and Loimu) and in collaboration with architect Tsuyoshi Tane (Sleeping Beauty), and design studio Formafantasma (Villi). Each edition commemorates Stool 60’s great virtues – its unique construction and responsible production values, the beauty and variety to be found in Finnish wood, Stool 60’s ageless longevity as well as its low ecological impact.

CRAFT SAKE WEEK 2023 is opend from April 21st to 30th at Roppongi Hills Arena. The project started in 2016 after organiser Hidetoshi Nakata strongly felt the splendour and potential of Japanese culture, including sake, agriculture and crafts, which he encountered while touring the 47 prefectures of Japan. The project brings together sake breweries carefully selected by experts led by Hidetoshi Nakata, who has visited more than 400 breweries across the country, and some of Japan's most famous restaurants, which boast the highest number of Michelin stars in the world. This is an event where you can truly experience Japan's world-class culinary culture.
ATTA designed the pavilion for CRAFT SAKE WEEK 2023 with the concept of "rice and sake, which have supported and nurtured Japanese culture since ancient times. When numbers were not yet used in daily life, the Masu served as a module to measure quantities, which were then distributed, shared, and used to drive society and the economy. With this background, we proposed to use the "masu - measurement tool" as the main design to express the history of eminent Japanese culture. Approximately 3,000 "Masu of Mass" were produced for this event, creating a space surrounded by wood, light and fragrance.

After the completion of the Vitra - Oudolf Garden in 2021, the Vitra Campus opened a new public access from the west. There was no path from the parking lot to the garden, and the soil was damaged by the visitors crossing the grass. Vitra commissionned ATTA to design a steppingstones path to smooth the connection.
Visitors are invited to approach Vitra by walking rhythmically along a path lined up with irregular shaped steppingstones. Based on the idea of a fossil-like discovering, archaeological steppingstones are combining local materials found around the stone manufacturer's location such as screws, nuts, pebbles, natural stones, glass and brick fragments, just like excavated materials from the Vitra campus site.

For the fifth edition, CRAFT SAKE WEEK will be held at Roppongi Hills Arena in the upcoming spring from April 21st to 30th. The event provides a space to enjoy 110 sake breweries which are carefully selected throughout Japan. Hidetoshi Nakata, President of Japan Craft Sake Company and former Japanese National football player, has visited all 47 prefectures since 2009 and has been involved in Japanese culture, tradition, agriculture and manufacturing. CRAFT SAKE WEEK started in 2016 and aims to present an opportunity to re-discover world-class Japanese culture and technology. We are pleased to announce that ATTA is designing the event venue.
Our concept embodies the idea that ‘rice and sake have supported and enshrined Japanese culture since ancient time’. To express the wealth of culture and craftsmanship produced from Japan’s natural environment, he has chosen the concept of “Mass = Masu”, and will use approximately 3,000 “Masu” (a wooden box-shaped vessel, which can hold one square measure of rice, that has been used since ancient times), so that an overwhelming volume of Masu will envelop visitors, while the soft wood and lighting will bring to a sense of abundance to the event space.

Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art has received the 32nd BELCA Award in the Best Renovation category, sponsored by the Long Life Building Promotion Association.
The BELCA Awards are given to architectural buildings that have been properly maintained and preserved over a long period of time or have undergone outstanding renovations. The following is a jury critique, and we are very pleased with the comments:
As a PFI project, the total project cost, design and construction requirements were determined by the work requirement standard, and the museum's operating portion is covered by user fees, making this project more challenging than the renovation and operation of ordinary buildings. Even with these restrictions, the project was able to achieve both economic efficiency and energy conservation while taking care to prevent condensation inside the building. The museum's originality and ingenuity can be seen in many aspects of the project, such as the blackboard fence surrounding the outdoor units, the appropriate temperature and humidity control grade for the storage rooms, etc. The official award ceremony will take a place in May 2023.

Celebrating Stool 60. To mark the 90th anniversary, special editions of the stool have been developed. Each edition commemorates Stool 60's great virtues—its unique construction and responsible production values, the beauty and variety to be found in Finnish wood, Stool 60's ageless longevity as well as its low ecological impact. The first anniversary edition to launch is Stool 60 Kontrasti which celebrates the ingenious construction processes Alvar Aalto first realised in 1933.
The 90th anniversary of Stool 60, ATTA was commissioned to design Stool 60." Sleeping Beauty" is inspired by the respect for the 100-year-old tree from which the stool is made and its beauty over time. The Finnish birch seat and legs were left unpainted in the soil to experiment the effect of the soil in the wood. The wood laid in soil with finer Japanese soil particles developed a colour tone rooted in the properties of the respective soil. Stool 60 Sleeping Beauty will be available in limited quantities from 18 March in advance at Dover Street Market Ginza and will be officially launched at the end of April to coincide with the fourth anniversary of the Artek Tokyo shop in Omotesando.

The most elemental of furniture pieces, Artek’s humble three-legged Stool 60 designed by Alvar Aalto, celebrates its 90th anniversary in 2023. In commemoration of this special year, Artek announces the anniversary model "Stool 60 Sleeping Beauty" designed by ATTA. It will be unveiled in the installation "Celebrating 90 years of Stool 60," at Dover Street Market Ginza on Saturday, March 18, 2023, for the first time in the world. ATTA also designed the installation space.
For this stool, Inspired by the concept of graceful aging, our research led us back to the actual earth. By burying raw birch sections in soils collected from different sites in Japan, we examined the effect each had on the untreated wood. Sections submerged in calcium-rich soil took on a red hue, while volcanic- or aluminum-laden soil resulted in the wood taking on black or grey tones respectively. This homage to the geo-histories rooted in the soil lends materiality to time and is a poetic response to the time-honored Stool 60.
The limited edition stool will be available Artek Tokyo Store in May.

TOTO GALLERY･MA is the exhibition presents How is Life? ――Designing for our Earth, a special exhibition curated by our Planning and Management Committee members Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, Manabu Chiba, Seng Kuan, and Tsuyoshi Tane.

This exhibition themed “Designing for our Earth” will showcase diverse precedents from various times and places that respond to the question “How is Life?” posed by the curators. Examples include the Capital Agricole exhibition held in France in 2018, which featured vivid illustrations of a future where Paris and its surrounding cities are interwoven with agricultural sites, and the Toson Memorial Hall (Gifu, Japan; design: Yoshiro Taniguchi), which was built in a postwar resource-deprived mountain village in 1947 by local men, women, and children, whose deep adoration for the late hometown author it commemorates struck a resonance with its architect.

By introducing 21 projects around the world that offer possibilities that depart from traditional conceptions of architecture and the city—regardless of whether they are of the past, currently being developed, or still foreign to Japan—we hope that the exhibition not only opens up diverse interpretations and further discussions but also sparks a new awareness in each and every visitor, inspiring all to explore new perspectives for living together with our Earth.

The “East-East” architectural project, which is open to the public, has laid the foundations for exchanges and professional fellowship between Lithuanian and Japanese architects – it includes lectures, exhibitions, discussions, and workshops for students. Lithuania is the only country in the European Union with such a high level of long-term cooperation with Japan in the field of architecture. “East-East 5” perfectly reflects the international dimension of the Kaunas Architecture Festival and the idea of commemorating the 100th anniversary of bilateral relations between Lithuania and Japan.
Continuing the 20-year tradition of architecture cooperation between the two countries, the East-East 5 Exhibition presents 40 works by architects and architecture studios from Japan and Lithuania.

The museum is also home to a collection of 150 Estonian folk costumes and hosts rotating art shows. Make sure you take a moment to admire the museum's most unique artifact: the oldest Estonian flag in existence, a pre-World War II treasure that was hidden during the Soviet occupation in the chimney of a farmhouse. There are also conference rooms, a cafeteria, and a restaurant in the building. About 500 events are held in and around the museum each year. These include larger open-air concerts and movie nights in the outdoor area during the summer.

This book reveals the full story of the entire record of a 100-year-old brick factory turning into a museum of contemporary art and the ATTA's process of how 'Architecture to Inherit Memory', was designed. The architectural concept is derived from the history of Hirosaki, the evolution of brick warehouses and archaeological research. A record of the construction, demolition, analysis and restoration of the existing building. It also looks at new approaches to the management of the museum, such as the organization of programs and the use of space, which will be transmitted from Hirosaki to the rest of the world. The museum traces the revitalization of a brick factory to see how architecture can connect to the future amidst the loss of Japan's old landscape sceneries.

Two years and a half after the collaboration with Italian stone maker Pibamarmi, the pavil-ion “Sound of Marble” is placed in the park of Cantina Ca’ del Bosco. The pavilion fits into the context of the park establishing a dialogue with nature and the artworks by artists such as Igor Mitoraj and Arnaldo Pomodoro.
The concept of Sound of Marble is based on the interaction between marble, sound and light as well as investigating the ancestral qualities of the stone as material in relation to innovative chal-lenges to archive the thinnest stones walls that are curved and self-supported all together. Listen-ing to the sound of stone over millions years, listening to the sounds of nature, of birds and winds reflected on the marble. The rain changes the appearance of stone grains which shows nature gives us a chance to encounter the living life of our planet. Grazie Pibamarmi!

A project to explore, through art, the aesthetic capital of cities across Thailand, the artwork at the Phimai National Museum was chosen as the location to be the place for an installation in the Korat Biennale. Fragments of Phimai heritage, an ancient Khmer temple from the 11th and 12th centuries, are laid to rest in this outdoor museum place. The movement of light waves to orchestrates through time and space, resonating with overtones of sutras from Buddhist scriptures as if evoking numerous memories of Phimai heritage. It is an experience where light transports us across time and space that has never been experienced yet.

Imperial Hotel Tokyo Rebuilding Plan
The Imperial Hotel was opened in 1890 as a guesthouse for foreign dignitaries as part of the Meiji Government's national policy to promote the modernisation of Japan, in line with the belief of the hotel's first chairman, Eiichi Shibusawa, that the hotel should "respond to and contribute to the needs of society".
The stately Western-style architecture of the first main building, together with the adjacent Rokumeikan, became a symbol of Japan's quest to become a Western country. The second main building, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, a leading figure in modern architecture, opened in 1923 (Taisho 12) and was commonly known as the "Wright Building", a historical building that pioneered the modernisation of the capital city of Tokyo. The present main building, which was rebuilt for the 1970 Osaka World's Fair is examples of the advanced use and complexification and an advanced example of this. This project is the fourth building of a new main building to ensure that the hotel will continue to be the centrepiece of a 'Made in Japan' hotel for the next 100 or 200 years.

The president Mr. Hideya Sadayasu said, “We highly evaluated Mr Tane's approach of "deeply considering the history of the Imperial Hotel, and based on that, creating architecture that will lead to the future". Furthermore, as Mr Tane has expressed his originality through completely different designs for each project, the decision to appoint him was based on the hope that he would create originality and demonstrate his determination to work with talented young architects to create the Imperial Hotel of the future.

The Imperial Hotel unveiled the new design of the Main Building and announced ATTA - Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects as the Design Architect for the Imperial Hotel, Tokyo. The design will inherit the "jewel of the orient" concept, which was used to describe the second generation of the main building (built in 1923) designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and expressed his intention to use stone for the exterior.
Construction of the Main Building will begin in 2031 and is expected to finish in 2036. Returning to the tradition of grand hotels, the new Main Building will be dedicated entirely to a program of utmost hospitality.

A press conference was held at the Imperial Hotel Tokyo in the Peacock Room to announce the design of the new Imperial Hotel building. The new main building of the Imperial Hotel will be the fourth generation of the hotel, to be completed in 2036. The selection of the architects was based on the three keywords "dignity", "inheritance" and "challenge", after researching about 500 companies and inviting several renowned architects from abroad and Japan.

ATTA-Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects was chosen to be the design architect for the new main building, the fourth generation of the Imperial Hotel. In the words of President Hideya Sadayasu, “We considered international architects from Japan and abroad. Among them, we chose architects who are promising, young, experienced in the world, and who share and embody our desire to challenge the future while inheriting our history.”

The tree is architecture and architecture is a tree - the “Arboretum, l’arbre comme architecture” exhibition opened at the Arc en rêve architecture centre in Bordeaux. In the wake of the philosophical and ecological debate that is helping the plant world reclaim its central role, the exhibition aims to rethink the relationship between architecture and trees, not as passive elements or sources of building materials but as living creatures with which we need to negotiate in a logic of symbiosis and cohabitation. “22 stories of trees” make up a historical and geographical journey in which design, architecture, landscape and urban planning projects become virtuous metaphors for a more inclusive society in which human beings do not just take up space but share it with nature.
ATTA participates in this exhibition and presents the 'Kofun Stadium' archaeological research and the model.

As part of the exhibition «Tsuyoshi Tane: Archaeology of the Future» (17.10.2020-28.2.2021), the S AM Swiss Architecture Museum is hosting a triple lecture and discussion event on the topic of «Context, Pretext, Subtext».

With:
* Tsuyoshi Tane (Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects)
* Catherine Gay (GayMenzel)
* Emanuel Christ (Christ & Gantenbein).

Paris, Monthey, Basel: the architects invited to discuss «Context, Pretext, Subtext» not only operate from very different locations in terms of culture, demographics, and density, but also divergent understandings about the notion of context. Inspired by Tsuyoshi Tane’s exhibition at the S AM, this event questions how context is understood in architectural discourse. Does context have to be exclusively defined in relation to an already existing physical fabric, or can it also be created through an interpretation of its spatial potential, which is yet to be articulated?

At the Hôtel de la Marine, the decision was made to restore the Intendant’s apartments back to how they were at the end of the 18th century by removing traces of the navy ministry’s time there. This process was helped by the discovery of original paintings beneath the layers of more recent paintings, restoration of these, and use of materials and techniques from the time. The concept of ATTA for the Al Thani Collection Museum Space will be located in the Hôtel de la Marine, and within a monument of more than 12,700m², the museum space of 400 m2 will now be entirely dedicated to the Al Thani Collection which is aiming to open in 2021.

After winning Grand Prix AFEX 2016 with Estonian National Museum, we are honoured that Todoroki House in Valley has been shortlisted for 2020 AFEX Grand Prix Projects. The prize is given every 2 years by AFEX in partnership with the French Ministry of Culture, the French Ministry of Foreign affairs and the “Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine”.
The design of the house, located in Tokyo, has been defined by focusing on these two contrasting environmental conditions and through the studies of primitive architecture pieces from both humid and arid areas around the world. ATTA attempted to combine the various building types that have been shaped into these wet and dry environments into a single house.

The project is exhibited at the Palais Royal until 15 December 2020.

The extravagant sculptural forms that were so conspicuous in the heyday of postmodernism coincided with a period of unprecedented prosperity in Japan, so after the collapse of the economic bubble at the beginning of the 1990s, extreme forms were avoided, and instead, attention was given to designs that were based on closely reading their surrounding environments. Meanwhile, after the experiences of great earthquakes, community relations have been seen as more important than forms. 

This exhibition introduces once again the possibilities of sculptural form in contemporary Japanese architecture. ATTA exhibits Todoroki House in Valley along with Estonian National Museum.

We are pleased to announce that the exhibition “Timeless Conversations 2020” will be open from June 24 to August 24. This exhibition unites works by contemporary artists working at the forefront of art, photography, design, and architecture with masterpieces of classic Japanese art. The Nikko and Gakko Bosatsu, which symbolise the sun and the moon, respectively, are said to guide and heal people. For this exhibition, Tane has created a light installation befitting these two bodhisattvas. Drawn to the Nikko and Gakko Bosatsu, which amass people’s prayers and relieve them of countless sufferings, he created a space that allows viewers to quietly engage with the statues and experience something on a deep inner level. By reflecting on the past and gazing fixedly at ourselves in the present, we can make the most of our realizations in the future. Here, our memories teach us how to live tomorrow.

For the fifth edition, CRAFT SAKE WEEK will be held at Roppongi Hills Arena in the upcoming spring from 17th to 29th of April for 13 days. The event provides a space to enjoy 130 sake breweries which are carefully selected out of the 1,400 throughout Japan. Hidetoshi Nakata, President of Japan Craft Sake Company and former Japanese National football player, has visited all 47 prefectures since 2009 and has been involved in Japanese culture, tradition, agriculture and manufacturing. CRAFT SAKE WEEK started in 2016 and aims to present an opportunity to re-discover world-class Japanese culture and technology.

We are honoured to announce that ATTA has designed the event venue this year. Our concept embodies the idea that ‘rice and sake have supported and enshrined Japanese culture since ancient time’. Based on this concept, ‘Mass’ was selected as a main direction for the design to express the distinguished Japanese cultural history. ‘Mass’ is the traditional Japanese wood container that is used to drink sake during specific occasions, with a 1,000 year old origin as a measure container for the food. Approximately 6,000 ‘Mass’ were exclusively produced for the event to embrace and create a dramatic space with soft wood and lighting.

The 〈TALIESIN® HOMAGE – Archaeological Lamp〉, created by ATTA in collaboration with YAMAGIWA, has been released. To mark the occasion, a talk show was held to celebrate its presentation.
The lamp takes as its starting point the historical context in which Frank Lloyd Wright drew inspiration from Maya archaeological sites to shape his works. It reinterprets Wright’s Taliesin philosophy through an archaeological lens, resulting in a design that bridges history and contemporary innovation.
The work embodies our concept of “Archaeology of the Future,” combining modern technology with historical memory to create a luminous monument that transcends time and introduces a striking presence to any space.

A decade in the making, the Sea of Time – TOHOKU Art Museum is set to open in 2027 in Tomioka, Fukushima, as a permanent home for Tatsuo Miyajima’s immersive installation artwork. Born from a collaboration between artist Miyajima, architect Tsuyoshi Tane (ATTA), graphic designer Rikako Nagashima, art director Tae Yoshihara, and the Sea of Time – TOHOKU project team, the project honors the lives lost in the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake while fostering hope for the region’s future. Since 2015, nearly 3,000 local participants have contributed to its creation, embodying a collective vision of remembrance and renewal.
Centered on an interview with Tatsuo Miyajima, the video traces the project’s origins and its exploration of “time” and “place” within the permanent installation. It reveals why Tomioka, Fukushima was chosen as the site, while showcasing the museum’s striking natural environment and the resilient spirit of Hamadori’s communities.
