9.-曲靖博物馆（与厦门合立道集团合作完成）
北京
A striking exterior precedent for a large-scale civic museum utilizing a dramatic structural cantilever and horizontal louvered envelope over water.
- What we like about this project
- The prow-like corner extends with seemingly weightless sharpness despite its immense mass.

- Geometry
- An assertive horizontal mass features a dramatic cantilever over a public plinth, composed of stepped linear facade strips.
- Facade system
- Horizontally striated metal louvers and panel system with punched ribbon windows.
- Structural guess
- Heavy steel truss framework or post-tensioned concrete core supporting the extreme cantilever.
- Spatial scale
- Monumental scale; the multi-story cantilever dwarfs the foreground waterfront promenade.
- Lighting
- Clear daylight casting sharp horizontal shadows across the louvered facade panels, with a clear reflection in the canal below.
- Atmosphere
- Bold, sculptural, and expansive under bright daylight.
- Environmental context
- Urban waterfront site with a newly constructed canal edge and planted retaining plaza.
- Spatial experience
- The building creates a monumental urban presence across the water, its massive prow projecting boldly toward the open sky.
- Composition rhythm
- Dense horizontal banding across the primary cantilever juxtaposed against vertical reflections in the water.
