November.14.2008 Yayoi Kusama, Tadao Ando & Art on Naoshima Island
(Click on the highlighted words for links to more information)
Shown above is an artwork by Yayoi Kusama on Naoshima Island. For art lovers this island is a must. Located in Southern Japan, it became an art destination through the desires of a weathly industrialist who needed an museum for his extensive art collection. So you do what anyone else would do and call up the famous architect, Tadao Ando to build a museum for you.
You can stay in the hotel, which has been built into the musuem or you can stay in Mongolian inspired 'yurts'. You can imagine which one is more expensive. In the end, you can see art all over the island and it is really quite relaxing and worth the journey.

Here are some examples of Dutch Architecture. The first image is a bicycle parking station in the middle of Rotterdam. The second photo is from Groningen (I think). The last two are from the recent development of Almere, near Amsterdam. As you can see, there are similar characteristics in all the photos, water, flatness and allusions to the principles of modernism.
