北京
A striking exterior precedent for massive organic, floating museum architecture that engages the urban street with a luminous public undercroft.
- What we like about this project
- The main mass dramatically lifts off the ground plane to form an expansive open-air civic plaza beneath the building.

- Geometry
- Expansive organic, swooping horizontal massing elevated on pilotis and sculpted landscape mounds, creating a large porous undercroft.
- Facade system
- Smooth continuous composite or metal panel skin wrapped over complex double-curved steel geometry.
- Structural guess
- Heavy steel space frame on sculpted concrete pilotis and core walls.
- Spatial scale
- Monumental scale; the curving undercroft spans multiple stories with crowds gathered at the base for human scale.
- Lighting
- Night exterior illuminated by internal warmth glowing through glazed openings, undercroft uplighting, and street-level pole lights.
- Atmosphere
- Cinematic, futuristic, and luminous against the dark night sky.
- Environmental context
- Urban street edge lined with palm trees and nighttime vehicular traffic at a civic boulevard.
- Spatial experience
- The building hovers dramatically over the public sidewalk, drawing pedestrians beneath its massive sweeping canopy into a glowing atrium lobby.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal continuity interrupted by sweeping vertical curves and the periodic rhythm of palm silhouettes.
