		Set in the tranquil urban oasis of Kinuta Park in Setagaya Ward, the Setagaya Museum is architect Shozo Uchii's attempt to house artworks in a structure which is both respectful of artworks and the natural environment within which the building is set.

		It is responsible for the flattened arch shape of the roofs of the structure as well as the inspiration for textiles, furniture and fittings within the building.
