7Tamagawa Library(Courtyard)

The courtyard is a space shared by the Tamagawa Library Main Building (hereinafter referred to as the Main Building) and the Archives of Modern History Records. The floors and walls of the courtyard are finished with the same red bricks as the Archives of Modern History Records, unifying both buildings. The courtyard also connects to the adjacent park, thereby incorporating the surrounding nature into the building. Benches among the plants create a reading space within nature. In addition, the large cross-beam in the upper area connecting the buildings is painted in green.
