Text description provided by architect.
This is a plan to link two public buildings with a bridge-typed facility, which had been long separated by the road in between. The museum technically bridges communications in this area.
It functions not only as a passage between the two facilities but also as an accommodation and workshop, ideal location for artist-in-residence programs.
In this project, we challenged a structural system which composes of small parts, referring to cantilever structure often employed in traditional architecture in Japan and China.
It is a great example of sustainable design, as you can achieve a big cantilever even without large-sized materials.
