Sendai Mediatheque

Sendai Mediatheque is located right next to Jozenji-dori. It is a versatile building that serves as both a public library and an exhibition space. When I passed through Jozenji-dori, the unique architecture design of this building attracted my attention. From the outside, it appears as a massive glass box with intriguing, unconventional structures within. But step inside, and you’ll realize that these structures are actually elevators. It’s a clever blend of form and function. While it is free to enter, during your exploration, please remember that many visitors are quietly immersed in their reading or study sessions. Please keep the noise level down and respect their peaceful experience.

One of the most important works of contemporary architecture in Japan and maybe Toyo Ito's best project. Fantastic interiors and atmosphere, do not hesitate to visit the interior, you just need to ask for a badge and the entry level.

We are glad we took the time to visit this building. We were able to visit Level 7, 5 and 1. Level 7, were studio rooms, but we saw pictures of the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami on the building and Sendai. Very educational. We saw photo galleries in Level 5. The photos were from local artists and were worthy of a visit. Level 1 was also an interesting decoration. We learned about the architect and interior designs for every floor. It is the most interesting building to visit.

This building is undoubtably a visual orgasm for architects. There are many free spaces that we can use for relaxing. However, for those who want to find a place to work with laptop, this place is not recommended at all. No free electricity plug even in the cafe area. There is a design shop at the ground floor selling fancy stuffs.
