the design looks to transcend the typical museum typology by being a more publicly accessible institution. at the building’s base level, the ‘art streets’ and outdoor sculpture garden take a form that imitates the cracks of the near-by da han riverbed.

the main building mass is elevated over the site by a large-span structural system that not only provides flexible exhibition space, but also presents visitors with sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. the distinctive appearance of the museum is composed of vertical structural tubes set at different heights – a linear elevation derived from the reeds that occupy the site.
