The Gunma Music Center in Takasaki, Gunma Prefectu

The Gunma Music Center in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, Japan, was designed by Czech-American architect Antonin Raymond and completed in 1961. It stands on the ruins of Takasaki Castle. Fact! The walls and roof are made from 120 mm thick folded concrete plates.

Modernist Czech-born American architect Antonin Raymond began his career with Cass Gilbert and then became part of Frank Lloyd Wright’s studio. He moved to Japan in the early 1920s and is recognised as one of the most influential foreign born architects to bring modernism to Japan.

The Gunma is one of his most widely known of Raymond’s buildings in Japan.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them
