Images from Chikatsu - Asuka Historical Museum, are fine examples of pure, minimal & experiential architecture, which I find very influential- especially these images + the following images.

Here it is possible to see Ando's key design elements; use of minimal materials (concrete), manipulation of wall heights in contrast to the floor, change in floor level, compression of space, release of space, framing of views of landscape and consideration of light and shadow.

Perhaps I can use these design elements as devices for examining the site and producing my own interpretation of 'experiential' architecture.
Look at: framing views, space; volume (compressed or released?) & natural light + shadows.
