Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to study the conditions that favor the integration of art and technology in architecture. An example on which the research was conducted is the low-cost passenger terminal T3 at Narita Airport in Tokyo. Although it is not an iconic piece, it illustrates well the issue of the relationship between technical and economic requirements and Japanese aesthetics of minimalist design. The special ability to combine strongly rooted in the tradition of modern art with scientific and technical innovation is a feature that distinguishes Japanese culture. Conservative values, which still define the society of this country, are not an obstacle in the absorption and development of new trends present in the globalized world of ideas. The strength of the local and universal Japanese culture that emerges in this way is evidenced by its large and long-lasting influence on the countries of Euro-Atlantic culture.
