Yamanashi Fruit Museum
Itsuko Hasegawa designed the Fruit Museum in the Yamanashi Prefecture near Mount Fuji in Japan, it was completed in 1997. The three shell-shaped buildings symbolize the "fruits" of spiritual sensuality, intelligence and lust. As an expression of contextual ecology, white light shines through screened structure in a paradisaical green house.






What I love about this work it is the large and round glass structure which reminds me of a giant snail. The inside of the structure is completely illuminated by these windows, we must feel like in a bubble. -Eugénie-


This work is interesting by its shape and the light. -Laure-
