Abstract
Within the dense urban setting is a lack of spaces that rouse inspired emotion while accommodating the masses of inhabitants. Meanwhile, in a rural setting, the Teshima Art Museum is a case where transient power is successfully established. The Teshima Art Museum is found in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan and was designed by Rei Naito and Ryue Nishizawa in 2010. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the architectural design concepts of the Teshima Art Museum and translate the derived concepts into an urban environment such as Waikīkī in Honolulu, Hawai‘i. This research includes an intensive case study as well as a subjective analysis of the author’s experiences at the Teshima Art Museum. The four relationships used to examine the concepts of the Teshima Art Museum are site, procession, nature, and light. Then, a comparative analysis was done to examine how the relationship of the Teshima Art Museum and the four elements compare and contrast with other projects. These concepts have been tested in in a design experiment by translating the theories from the rural setting, to urban Waikiki. A new museum was designed by incorporating the concepts found in Teshima, but adapting them for a new environment. This design creates a new sanctuary space in an urban environments which addresses the initial problem presented. The Teshima Art Museum is not easily accessible to many people, so this design brings this type of space to a more densely populated area.
