Tokyo
The National Art Center a $300-million, 150,000-square-foot complex designed by famed architect Kisho Kurokawa. Situated in the Roppongi district, the glass and steel structure is devoted exclusively to visiting and temporary exhibitions—impermanence, how Zen. Kurokawa calls it a "gigantic display machine," and it's easy to see why: Its interior boasts seven rooms that can transform into different shapes and sizes. Along with the Mori Art Museum, which focuses on contemporary painting and sculpture, and the newly redesigned Suntory Museum of Art, which features more traditional Japanese art, the versatile new space forms what's now known as the Roppongi Art Triangle.
