Best Architectural Design for Museum
About the project (provided by the applicant)
MoMA is the abbreviation for Museum of Modern Aluminum. The founders and architects of HAS Design and Research, Jenchieh Hung and Kulthida Songkittipakdee, wanted MoMA to serve not only as a public space but also as a getaway for busy urban dwellers. The building extends the natural landscape of Ko Kret Island to the project site. During the day, MoMA is a dandelion, with its overhanging elements swaying in the wind, bringing softness and lightness to the busy road; at night, MoMA transforms into a firefly, adding a sense of nature and peacefulness to the highly commercialized road.
