日本红十字会总部老楼是由妻木赖黄设计、在明治45年建成的。但是,由于经历了两次火灾,它已发生了很大的变化,以致它的室内、屋顶结构和外窗框都已不是原先的样子了。总之,按原样维修老楼是不可能的,因为原用地的一半必须卖掉,以便筹措建设费用。考虑到这种处境,当老楼拆毁时,建筑师试图把老楼室内的重要部件保存下来,并作为历史的纪念把它们引入新楼。 The old building of the Japanese Red Cross headquarters was designed by Yasugi Lai Huang and built in Meiji 45. However, due to two fires, it has undergone a great deal of change, so that its interior, roof structure and outer window frames are not the same. In short, it is impossible to repair old buildings as they are, because half of the original land must be sold in order to raise construction costs. Considering this situation, when the old building was demolished, the architect tried to save the important parts of the old building’s interior and introduced them into the new building as a memorial to history.
