Based on the following three design concepts, our scheme has stood out from more than 100 schemes, and won this international competition:
Connection: The main building of the museum is elevated and erected between two hills, connecting the base and the golf course; the museum adopts a folded form to create a hollow massing, so that the reserved time axis can be employed to continue and connect with the hills. The visiting route of the museum starts exactly with the axis. Below the elevated building there is an open shared space that integrates accessory, exhibition and many other event functions.
Continuity: Old houses are preserved, so that the time axis can pass through the main aerial layer of the museum and extend to the hills on the north side.
Openness: A public flow line is especially designed in the scheme, so that visitors not planning to visit the art gallery can take a walk in the lobby, arrive at the roof garden via the central slope and stairs, and enjoy the landscape of the golf course and the surrounding natural landscape.
