Overview
Art museum in a Meiji copper refinery ruin using its chimney for zero-energy natural ventilation.
An art museum built within the ruins of a Meiji-era copper refinery on tiny Inujima island, blending industrial archaeology with contemporary art. Architect Hiroshi Sambuichi designed the museum to use the refinery's existing chimney as a natural ventilation and cooling system, requiring zero external energy. Artworks by Yukinori Yanagi interrogate Japan's modernization through the refinery's remains.
