Art Museum / KSP Engel und Zimmermann Architekten

KSP Engel und Zimmermann Architekten has shared their winning proposal for the new Art Museum for Nanjing, China.  The museum lies near the cultural axis which is comprised of Changjiang Road to the south and the “revolution road”, Zhongshan East Road, to the north.   These roads are slightly angled toward one another creating a “trapeze-shaped plot of land”.    This distinct site inspired the team to respond  to its critical surroundings.   Components in the museum such as the Revolution Cube and the Culture Cube, are strategically placed to honor the project’s location.
