A Building on Land and Sea - Kobe Port Museum is a multi-purpose cultural facility consisting mainly of an aquarium, a food hall, and a bridal desk. Kobe has a characteristic topography enclosed between the Seto Inland Sea and Mount Rokko. The jetty area is a planning area where the remains of the Hanshin-Awaji Great Earthquake are preserved today, to pass down to the people the situation that occurred at that time. The concept was for a building at this site that would pass on the history of the land where many crustal movements have been repeated, and that exist together with eternal time.
