Travel Guide
Aoyama Spiral Building is a complex of cultural facilities established by Fumihiko Maki, internationally acclaimed Japanese architect, aimed at bringing together life and art. It is a multi-use building, with gallery space, multipurpose hall, cafe, restaurant and bar, salon, and shops. The defining feature of the building is a spiral ramp that encircles the rear gallery space and climbs to the second floor. The exterior facade of aluminum and glass reflects the jumbled nature of the surrounding streetscape. Also known as the Wacoal Art Center, Spiral is a nexus of cultural life in Aoyama, presenting music, art, film, and theater events. The 1st-floor gallery features changing exhibits, shows, dining and live music. The Spiral market on the 2nd floor presents simple, high quality home furnishings based on an ‘eternal design’ principle. The store has six self-explanatory zones; lounging, eating, healing, working, wearing and wrapping. The market also regularly hosts the ‘Spiral Market Selection’ which displays clay, glass and fabric artifacts made by hand-picked, up and coming designers.
