About the project
This hybrid structure project aims to integrate a library, museum, and multi-purpose hall to enrich public life and blur boundaries between programs. The sculptural silhouette of the building takes inspiration from the two hills descending towards the site, and features high galleries, intersecting geometries, and interior gardens to blend functions seamlessly. Exhibition areas are kept open, with limitless possibilities for galleries at different heights. The upper floors host the library facing the pond, and the natural light reflects on it in the evening. The design creates a new typology of a library and museum structure that exists harmoniously with nature and urban life while enriching public life.
