To ensure the integration of art and architecture with daily life and the local scenery, the three galleries being situated in the residential areas of Inujima will use private residences restored using tile and wood, and buildings that use materials such as transparent acrylic and aluminum that will mirror the scenery. This project will create new sights within the scenery of Inujima.
