What Is It?

it almost looks like a alien structure,


the pixilated building,

 is located west of Tokyo, the building is part of the larger Tokorozawa Sakura Town complex,

 any clues as to what it is yet!

 well here is one, it has a  bookshelf theater, an eight-meter-high library that holds around 50,000 titles, 

 the facade is formed with 20,000 individual pieces of granite, and the polyhedron-shaped building is broken up into five floors, including a garden, art gallery, two museums, and a cafe,

 due to open in the next few weeks, the new Kadokawa Culture Museum in Japan is situated within a starkly designed structure by architect Kengo Kuma, the multifunctional space can be transformed into a performance venue through projection mapping, the museum, which what it is, includes an anime hotel, an outdoor space lined with cherry trees, an indoor pavilion, shrine, shops, and restaurants, an exhibition dedicated to Kuma will mark the museum’s launch, although a definitive schedule for public visits hasn’t been released due to concerns about COVID-19. To follow Kuma’s architectural projects and updates on Kadokawa’s full opening, head to Instagram, all imagies © Kadokawa Culture Museum, well you have got to admit, for a museum it certainly looks different!
