At the Japan pavilion of the 14th International Architecture Exhibition, part of the Venice Biennale, Commissioner Kayoko Ota has prepared an exhibition on the international theme of "Absorbing Modernity: 1914 - 2014." In line with this common thread, the Japan pavilion has taken up the theme "A Storehouse of Contemporary Architecture," weaving a continuous history of the country's architecture over the past 100 years while placing the focus on the 1970s, and tracing the roots to the underlying strength of Japanese architecture.
