Albert Kahn Museum
The new building of the Albert Kahn Museum in Paris, designed by Kengo Kuma, his design team, and landscape architect Michel Desvigne Paysagiste is fully inspired by Albert Kahn’s deep connection and love with Japan.
“The dream of Albert Kahn of blending the garden and display space was achieved by blending the environment and architecture,” says Kengo Kuma.
Establishing a dialogue between the building and the garden through an element borrowed from traditional Japanese architecture: the engawa, a borderland between inside and outside.
