AGENCY FOR CULTURAL AFFAIRS KYOTO GOVERNMENT BUILDING AND NEW KYOTO PREFECTURAL GOVERNMENT BUILDING

Outline
The former main building of the kyoto prefectural police headquarters was renovated and a new administrative building was added to coincide with the relocation of the agency for cultural affairs to kyoto. The eaves levels of the third floor of the old and new buildings are matched, and the same color tiles and vertical design are used to unify the two buildings. The horizontal elements of the eaves on the fourth floor of the new administrative building and the eaves connecting to the porch were intended to emphasize the unity of the two buildings.
