The region-Chikatsu Asuka was the scene of the events that have marked the earliest period of Japanese
history. They were discovered more than two hundred burial mounds including four imperial tombs.
The museum stands in the middle of the tombs dating from the centuries II to VII, and is dedicated to
culture Kofun as evidence of major historical events.Materials
Concrete was used in general for the granite staircase and wood floors.
Structure
Reinforced Concrete.
The term minimalism is also used to describe a trend in design and architecture where in the subject is reduced to its
necessary elements. Minimalist design has been highly influenced by Japanese traditional design and architecture. In
addition, the work of De Stijl artists is a major source of reference for this kind of work. De Stijl expanded the ideas that could
be expressed by using basic elements such as lines and planes organized in very particular manners.
Architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe adopted the motto "Less is more" to describe his aesthetic tactic of arranging the
numerous necessary components of a building to create an impression of extreme simplicity, by enlisting every element and
detail to serve multiple visual and functional purposes (such as designing a floor to also serve as the radiator, or a massive
fireplace to also house the bathroom). DesignerBuckminster Fuller adopted the engineer's goal of "Doing more with less", but
his concerns were oriented towards technology and engineering rather than aesthetics. A similar sentiment was industrial
designer Dieter Rams' motto, "Less but better" adapted from Mies. The structure uses relatively simple elegant designs;
ornamentations are quality rather than quantity.The structure's beauty is also determined by playing with lighting, using the
basic geometric shapes as outlines, using only a single shape or a small number of like shapes for components for design
unity, using tasteful non-fussy bright color combinations, usually natural textures and colors, and clean and fine finishes.
Using sometimes the beauty of natural patterns on stone cladding and real wood encapsulated within ordered simplified
structures, and real metal producing a simplified but prestigious architecture and interior design. May use color brightness
balance and contrast between surface colors to improve visual aesthetics. The structure would usually have industrial and
space age style utilities (lamps, stoves, stairs, technology, etc.), neat and straight components (like walls or stairs) that appear
to be machined with equipment, flat or nearly flat roofs, pleasing negative spaces, and large windows to let in lots of sunlight.
This and science fiction may have contributed to the late twentieth century futuristic architecture design, and modern home
decor. Modern minimalist home architecture with its unnecessary internal walls removed probably have led to the popularity of
the open plan kitchen and living room style.
Another modern designer who exemplifies reductivist ideas is Luis Barragán. In minimalism, the architectural designers pay
special attention to the connection between perfect planes, elegant lighting, and careful consideration of the void spaces left
by the removal of three-dimensional shapes from an architectural design. The more attractive looking minimalist home
designs are not truly minimalist, because these use more expensive building materials and finishes, and are relatively larger.
The Parc de la Villette is one of the largest parks in Paris, located at the northeastern edge of
the 19th arrondissement. The park houses one of the largest concentration of cultural venues in
Paris.
