History of the Kyoto Prefectural Library designed by architect “Goichi Takeda” and modernization through renovation
The Kyoto Prefectural Library, which has a history of over 100 years, was designed by Goichi Takeda, known as the "father of Kansai architecture." The underground facility of the library, which has been modernized while retaining the Glasgow school decorations of the time, is an automated warehouse that resembles a secret base, and more than 1 million books are stored there.
