Shogin TACT Tsuruoka’s Cultural Hall

Shōgin TACT Tsuruoka opened in 2018 as a hub for culture and the arts in Tsuruoka City.
The main hall uses a vineyard-style seating arrangement, creating an immersive space with excellent acoustics and visibility. It is equipped to host a wide range of concerts, performing arts, and events.

This cultural hall, rebuilt as a base for local cultural and artistic activities, features a design centered around a fly tower, with a cluster of smaller roofs breaking up the building’s overall mass. These segmented roofs gradually lower toward the outer edges, with the structure becoming single-story along the roadside. This design aims to harmonize with the surrounding townscape, which includes historic buildings (the neighboring Chido Clan School) and residential houses.
