"Waking up on a dark winter morning is never fun. But imagine if the sun didn’t come up at all. Rjukan, Norway—which is cast into shadow for five months a year—has found a solution. The town is finishing its first winter using a system of mirrors to create an oasis of sunlight during its perpetually dark winter months." #secondhandsunlight #inspiration #lettherebelight #parachutemarket #norway

Chichu Art Museum rethinks the relationship between nature and people. Artworks by Claude Monet, James Turrell, and Walter De Maria are on permanent display in a building designed by Tadao Ando. The building in its entirety can be called a massive site-specific art work.
To ensure that the museum does not affect the beautiful scenery of Naoshima, the majority of the building is located underground. Despite its positioning, it receives an abundance of natural light, changing the appearance of the artworks and the ambience of the space itself with the passage of the days and the seasons. #inspiration #lettherebelight #wanderlust (at Naoshima, Japan)
