KEITH HARING COLLECTION MUSEUM and skate spot

The Japanese pretty much own architecture (and fashion too). With a limited amount of space on the islands of Japan, their designers use innovative lines and materials to create functional structures.. to skate. Atsushi Kitagawara (one of Japan's most celebrated architects) designed the fantastic Nakamura Keith Haring Collection Art Museum in 2007 (pictured top left), but as spring dries up the streets of New Hampshire in 09', all I can think is what an amazing skate spot it would be. Mr. Haring is still one of my favorite artists and I can't help but think he would have fully supported a session at his musuem. The rest of the buildings in Wallpaper's feature on Japanese architecture is worth at least few looks. (via Wallpaper)
