Inaugurado en 2007, fue diseñado por el arquitecto Tadao Ando junto con el diseñador de moda Issey Miyake, su director fundador. Su cubierta de acero plegado, inspirada en el concepto «A Piece of Cloth» (A-POC) de Miyake, corona una estructura situada aproximadamente en un 80 % bajo tierra. El espacio presenta exposiciones temáticas temporales en Gallery 1 & 2, que exploran cómo el diseño configura la vida cotidiana, además de muestras colaborativas de menor formato en Gallery 3.
