The exhibition space is lifted up to create a welcoming horizontal flow with multi-purpose on ground level, to host exhibition, events and casual common area. The second level is rather introversive art space with only sky light or courtyard light. The surrounding landscape does not necessarily intrude; here, art is the view.

so much dead space!!! a little confused by the stair.. it shouldnt take away from the art… your not going there to look at a stair that’s not even well designed.

The vast interior and the saw tooth skylights remind me of Dia Art foundation in upstate New York. Nonetheless, it seems quite nice except for the stairs handrail which is completely out of sync with the rest. (the clean, simple planes through out the museum Vs. the busy criss-crosses of the handrial)
