Il Museo d’Arte di Teshima (2010) sorge su una collina sull’isola di Teshima e si affaccia sul mare interno di Seto. Il museo che ha la geometria di un agoccia d’acqua in appoggio, si trova nell’angolo di una terrazza di riso che è stata restaurata in collaborazione con i residenti locali. Strutturalmente, l’edificio è costituito da un guscio di cemento, privo di pilastri, che copre uno spazio di circa 40 per 60 metri e con un’altezza massima di 4,3 metri. Due aperture ovali nel guscio consentono al vento, ai suoni e alla luce del mondo esterno di entrare in questo spazio organico in cui natura e architettura si intrecciano. Nello spazio interno, l’acqua scorre continuamente dal terreno in un giorno di movimento.

Teshima Art Museum (2010) stands on a hill on the island of Teshima overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. The museum, which resembles a water droplet at the moment of landing, is located in the corner of a rice terrace that was restored in collaboration with local residents.
Structurally, the building consists of a concrete shell, devoid of pillars, coving a space about 40 by 60 meters and with a maximum height of 4.3 meters. Two oval openings in the shell allow wind, sounds, and light of the world outside into this organic space where nature and architecture intimately interconnect. In the interior space, water continuously springs from the ground in a day long motion.
