21_21 Design Sight
21_21 Design Sight is a museum in Roppongi in Minato, Tokyo, which opened in 2007. The design museum was designed by architect Tadao Ando and fashion designer Issey Miyake. The building is on the edge of the park area and has 1,700 square meters of floor space, including two galleries and an affiliated café run by chef and restaurateur Takamasa Uetake.
The aim of 21_21 Design Sight is to promote understanding and interest in design by involving designers, corporate employees, engineers, craftsmen and the general public. The museum organizes exhibitions on the subject of "everyday life" with multidirectional programs such as lectures and workshops. What is unique is that most of these exhibitions are directed by designers.
