![]() The technology is very present in this building, both internally and in the construction of the entire box. The Media is a glass 50 × 50 meters, 36 meters, with several plants and a series of pillars patio flowing through it from first to last. The building is dematerialises not think of interior-exterior, architecture in tune with nature for their perfect harmony, it is necessary to create a softer contours that merge inside with outside. Toyo Ito comes this far in this sense that this idea is reflected not only the work but also how it is installed in the city. This last wish is perhaps the most conditional work, despite being the most problematic. So that the architect made five wishes for your work: The main idea which is built on the Sendai Mediatheque is an open and fluid space, where the space is not predetermined. Some small churches and a castle realize its historical heritage, but the reason we Sendai has achieved international renown for its Media, one of the most representative works of the architect Toyo Ito. Located 300 km north of Tokyo is a city of one million known as the “City of Trees.” In its vicinity is Matsushima Bay, one of the three most famous natural scenery of Japan, near the island of Miyajima and Amanohashidate isthmus. The Media was built in the 2-1, Kasuga-cho, Aoba-ku, Sandai of the capital of Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. The Media is based on the metaphor of Aquarium, its transparency and hence the similarity of the pillar with algae. It is above all a space where the flow of light and frankly between the different levels of the building. Since the lot is in front of a large grove, building extensive views towards the rescues as well as the use of trees in the design of the structure. Located in an area of 50 x 50 m, the media library should contain several features: a library, internet booths, areas of DVD, galleries, cafes, etc. The general concept for the competition since the call was free access to the public. But perhaps what has made this building is a milestone that has tried to translate the architecture eteriedad, fluidity, and multi-virtual computer world that characterizes our time. Sendai Mediatheque, a project which in 2006 received the Royal Gold Medal by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), can be hailed from various aspects: its structural innovation, versatility and functional significance for the residents of Sendai.
