DESIGN NAME: Song Art Museum
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Art Museum
INSPIRATION: "Blank-leaving" is the most artistic expression in Chinese painting. We reduced all the decorated elements from the original Victorian style architecture. It becomes purely white after removing those complicated symbols by using some semi-transparent materials like PC. The extended buildings connected together with new corridors in several kinds of geometric shape. So the new & old, Western & Eastern, contemporary & traditional link together, conversation in between starts over.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Instead of creating a certain atmosphere for specific art crafts, in this case, we emphasize the connection between subject and object. The significance of the art museum is to present the art. As a result, we select the critical elements according to the client’s preference, such as pavilions and pine trees; then removed all the unnecessary decoration. In terms of a platform for display, we define Song Art Museum as an "Art Container".
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The original architecture is Victorian style with Western-style gardens, as an overly makeup woman, is outdated. The owner intended to transform its function into an art space for the public using. Our first step is to remove all the decorations from her, to show her purely look.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: Disharmony is what we have to deal with in this project: an imitated aspect from a mighty culture without its core. For instance, the Victorian building without its cultural base, the only thing it had was symbol, which needs to be reconsider and to be released. In short, we try to simplify everything in a harmony way. As a result, the building would be back to the original context, a spatial container.
