Design Awards

Museum of Natural and Environmental History, Shizuoka is a prefectural museum. We renovated a closed high school buildings. The theme of the museum is what does it mean to live truly rich life in Shizuoka. Classrooms were renovated to exhibition rooms with a design concept of a thought-provoking museum. The tables and chairs of closed high school were reused in the exhibition room for a design to express learning and thinking place as a museum. The exhibits and graphics were designed throughout the exhibition rooms and corridors. This design was produced by the members of Tanseisha Co., Ltd. The fascinating design with renovating high school buildings was awarded the seven international prizes and four domesticated prizes.
