The National Museum of Western Art Retrofit Project represents a significant example of modern seismic retrofitting applied to contemporary architecture. Completed in 1997, this project demonstrates the innovative approach of integrating base isolation technology into existing museum structures. Designed by Maekawa Architectural Office and the Kanto Regional Construction Bureau's Facilities Division, the retrofit enhances structural safety while preserving the building's architectural integrity. Located in Ueno Park, Tokyo, this intervention showcases how preservation and modern engineering can coexist, making it an important case study for architects interested in sustainable conservation methods and seismic design solutions in Japan's architectural heritage.
