Experience the Pleasure of Architecture at Gallery Aekwad

Aroma of Architectural Art on the Ground Floor

Located near the Tozai Line Higashi-yonchome Station on the Tokyo Metro, on the first floor of the Takenaka Corporation headquarters building. There stands a small gallery dedicated to architecture, named 'Gallery Aekwad'. Since its opening, this gallery has been continually sharing the charm of architecture from various perspectives, offering visitors an experience to 'enjoy architecture' through diverse media such as photographs, illustrations, and paintings.

Artistic and Aesthetic Exhibition Planning

Gallery Aekwad has invited numerous renowned architects and artists to conduct innovative and fascinating exhibition planning. Exhibitions featuring the works of representative Japanese architects such as Nakamura Tetsu, Ishikawa Naoki, and Wise Becker, provide an excellent opportunity to delve into the profound world view of architecture.

Furthermore, the works of famous overseas architects and designers such as Yoshimura Junzo and Marimekko are also featured, showcasing a broad perspective on the essence of architecture. In between these exhibitions, events related to design and architecture are also held, allowing both experts and the general public to fully experience the charm of architecture.

Convenient Location and Free Admission

Access to Gallery Aekwad is extremely convenient. It is only a few minutes' walk from Higashi-yonchome Station, and is also close to the city center, making it suitable for casual visits on holidays. What's more, admission is free! In addition, exhibition catalogs and related items are available at reasonable prices, allowing you to easily explore the charms of architecture.

Gallery Aekwad is not only suitable for those involved in architecture, but it is also worth visiting for others. You are bound to have unexpected discoveries and realizations, as you will encounter new charms of architecture.

The project here is quite interesting. Tetsu Nakamura, Naoki Ishikawa, Weisbecker, Masa Kawamata... I think it's a great choice. (even though it's a construction company) Personally, this is my favorite free gallery in Tokyo after Ginza Maison Hermes Forum. The space is not very large, but if there are exhibits with a lot of images, you will spend many hours there. Admission is free, and we are happy to sell small, inexpensive booklets.

This is Takenaka Corporation's office building, and there is a gallery on the first floor. I went to see the Junzo Yoshimura exhibition. He is a master of modernist architecture following Wright and Raymond. All the buildings are well-balanced and beautiful. After all, having a good sense of aesthetics is something that comes naturally. I'm looking forward to the next exhibition. I will visit again.

A small gallery located inside the Takenaka Corporation building. But it’s wonderful to approach “architecture” from an unexpected perspective 💓

Visit the "Marimekko Lifestyle" exhibition, which will be held until the end of February. It's close to the station, but you might be confused because it's hard to tell from the outside that it's a gallery. The gallery is immediately to the right after passing through the entrance of the office building. The exhibition room is bright, and in this exhibition, the floor was covered with wood chips, pebbles, leaves, etc., creating a relaxing atmosphere.

A large gallery located on the first floor of Takenaka Corporation's Tokyo main store. The nearest station is Toyocho on the Tozai Line. The museum opened in September 2005. It exhibits photographs, paintings, illustrations, etc. related to architecture. ``With the concept of ``architecture and enjoyment'', we will introduce ways to ``enjoy'' architecture through various media whenever you visit, and create a gallery where everyone from the general public to experts can ``enjoy'' architecture. "We are aiming to achieve this goal."
