VENUE

ILP 2015 will take place at the Kyoto University Raku-Yu. Kaikan, University of Kyoto. Main (Yoshida) campus. Rakuyu Kaikan was built in 1925 commemorating the university's 25th anniversary, designed by then Assistant Professor Keiichi Morita of the Department of Architecture , Faculty of Engineering, Kyoto University. The tile-roofed two-story reinforced concrete building with a Spanish Mission style exterior, together with interior decorations designed by then Professor Nobuo Moriya from Tokyo Higher School of Arts & Technology well embodies the characteristics of Taisho architecture. In 1998, the building was designated as a registered tangible cultural property of Japan.
