Story

Japan is a country with four clearly defined seasons. On the flip side of these blessings, it has been frequently struck by natural disasters, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and typhoons. Across Japan, there are many attractive buildings and structures that have been constructed through engaging and struggling with the natural environment and carrying on locality.

This video introduces Nago City Hall in Okinawa where is the westernmost prefecture in Japan. Nago City Hall completed in 1981 was designed to address the questions of what is Okinawan architecture, and what form should a city hall take. Answers to these questions can be found everywhere inside the building.
