Hitachi City Nakazato Elementary and Junior High School / MIKAMI Architects

The wooden school building forms an arch along the Sato River - The Nakazato area, the site of this project, is located in Hitachi City, the birthplace of the multinational Hitachi Group, but it is a long way from the bustling downtown area facing the Pacific Ocean, which can only be reached by crossing a mountain range. The area once flourished as a copper mining region but fell into disuse with the decline of the mining industry.
