Sejima's Kanazawa Museum of Contempory Art of the 21st Century on The Seventh Day

I recently came across this museum by Japanese Architect Kazuyo Sejima in a history class lecture and thought it looked familiar...it was featured on the 19th episode of the Seventh Day.

Krawchuk Memories

After being empty for over 10 years, the old red building is coming down...

I did go back to take some pictures last Saturday of the school. It was so sunny and warm on Saturday, sort of the calm before our rain/ice/snow storm that you're getting now. I've uploaded the pics to my web album at http://picasaweb.google.com/RichardChiang1288/Krawchuk?feat=directlink

While I was there I met a few other strangers who either went to the school or had kids who went to the school. It was strange because I never really expected anyone else to be there. There were two men in their 30s who went to the school and there were two senior men who had children who went to the school. We talked for a couple of minutes and I guess cause it was in the paper, it was highly publicized and people knew about it. One of the seniors picked up a red brick as a souvenir. The place is supposed to just be flattened for a playground.

I was talking to my studio friend about the demolition and we were talking about those Scooters too! Totally unsafe as our fingers were run over and we did silly things on them (swinging each other around and letting go)...I think they ban them from elementary schools.
