Spiral スパイラル

Sophisticated space designed for urban relaxation

Located in Aoyama in central Tokyo, Spiral is a multi-purpose cultural complex of exhibition spaces, design and crafts stores, and restaurants. Performances and talk events generally carry a surcharge, but the exhibitions are typically free and often make use of the building's atrium.

Designed by architect Fumihiko Maki and demonstrating 1980s Japanese post-modern architecture at its finest, Spiral aims to fuse "art and everyday life." Lounge in the first-floor cafe, take in simultaneous events and wander the building's floating spiral-shaped slope to the second floor.
