Our point was to design a museum from which the ground below can be felt, by continuing the building’s floors that follow the ups and downs of the slope.
Planning is based on geometric division in the units of parallelogram to deal with the intricate topography.
Each unit has a small individual roof, so the outlook became like a village that evokes a view of extending tiled roofs.
The outer wall is covered with a screen of tiles hung up by stainless wires, and it controls the volume of sunlight coming into the rooms inside.
