9. TANJIN QIAOYUAN BRIDGE CULTURE MUSEUM
CONCEPT AND DRAWINGS
The museum is designed surrounding the concept of ‘walking building’ featuring
spaces that allows user to view multiple view and changes of scenery.
The construction and plans of the building submerge with nature of the land, which
is the river and the existing landscape across the river.

10. The interior and exterior follows the scale of the context, including the shape and built. The
walking building also features changing scenery framed by the architect.

11. The museum’s architect plays with the
interior of the building by creating
wrinkled surfaces for grey spaces
purposes
The interior and exterior are contained
within the scale of the context, which
connects the park to form and organic
whole with the building.Wrinkled surfaces

lake.

It has 2 theatres and 4 storeys, the building does not
have distinctive architecture style.
Vegetation
As the site was a golf course, the view is open and clear.
There are garden where various plants planted for
pleasant view.

Glass and concrete structures makes the building
transparent and lets user focuses on surrounding
context.

Open spaces inside the building allow user to breath,
and feel the spacious of the building. There are classes,
multipurpose halls, cafeteria and auditorium.
