Sendai Mediatheque

Sendai Mediatheque is a library in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. It was designed by Toyo Ito in 1995 and completed in 2001.

The Sendai Mediatheque held its official opening on January 26, 2001, however the initial impetus for the project began as early as August, 1989 when the Arts Association of Miyagi Prefecture requested the construction of a new museum in Sendai. Between 1989 and 1994 the site of an old bus depot was selected for the new project, and the program was expanded to include the replacement of the existing library. After a public consultation, an architectural competition was held for the design of the Mediatheque, and in March 1995 Toyo Ito and Associates Architects was named the winner out of 235 competing proposals.
