Last year was the 20th anniversary of the Sendai Mediatheque, a multimedia center for creatives in Sendai, a hub for exhibitions and research in design. The anniversary of the mediatheque is important in showcasing Sendai’s talent and growth in the creative industries.
The Mediatheque was designed by Toyo Ito, it was revolutionary.
Although the Quake left the mediatheque structurally standing, the interior looks to be heavily damaged.
After twenty years of being an prominent architecture and design landmark of Sendai and a facility of education, talent and innovation, I can only imagine what it would be like to rebuild. Like other creatives in the effected areas of Japan and New Zealand, all of their hard work may have been destroyed or washed away, how does one even begin to put together a portfolio afterwards for future career opportunities?
This is a fantastic way to help creatives in the quake effected areas of both Japan and New zealand.
Please consider making a contribution and help our peers rebuild their lives.
