4General Concept

The Tamagawa Library consists of two buildings: the Tamagawa Library Main Building (hereinafter referred to as the Main Building), and the Archives of Modern History Records. The two feature intentionally different designs. While the Archives of Modern History Records preserves its traditional appearance, carrying with it the weight of history, the Main Building has a more modern feel with its simple design and bright and open interior space. At the same time, a harmony and fusion of the two buildings is achieved through the choice of materials and colors, such as by using the red bricks and brick design of the Archives of Modern History Records in the courtyard of the Main Building.
