The visitor ascends the entry cone, then taking an elevator
to the upper floors of the Center. Gluckman Mayner were responsible
for the design of these public spaces the visitor traverses,
as well as the Mori
Art Museum, an observation deck, retail and cafes. The
top two floors of the Center contains the museum, which contains
naturally-lit galleries totaling 32,000 s.f. (click for plan).
Focusing on contemporary art, both local and international,
the museum is planned as a place to disseminate art between
Japan and the rest of the world, and vice-versa. Its position
atop the Mori Tower attempts to express this desire through
its height and the developer's prominence, instead of an eye-catching
building a la Frank Gehry. If this goal comes true remains
to be seen.
