萊特(Frank Lloyd Wright) 的落水山莊 Fallingwater - 是不容錯過的當代經典建築 in distant USA, then how about nearby?
探訪東京的萊特,日本的代表作"帝國飯店"早已在都市發展寸土寸金的需求下, 被搬遷到名古屋的明治村去了; 東京有的, 是位於池袋的自由學園明日館, less known, less traveled.
隱藏在住宅區的這個場址, 沒有明顯標誌, 一度讓我不確定是否抵達目的地, 走近一看那些窗戶pattern and 柱體裝飾 - 對了, 這一定是萊特!
轉角迴廊
A door leading to the sourvenir shop - afterall , this is Japan!
The hall is closed for event when visited that day, just a glimp from the window - very Wright indeed.
這一天的明日館, 因為當天婚禮活動租借無法入內感受空間與萊特的設計品啊, 不過也意外witness a wedding, a most lovely place for one I'd say.
In this case, shall we take a look at some of Wright's furnitures, currently on exhibit in Paris 奧塞美術館, where I traveled for the furniture exhibition rather than the paintings .....
