Text description provided by the architects. The Suzhou Museum of Contemporary Art (Suzhou MoCA), designed by BIG, will soon open its doors to the public for the exhibition, Materialism. Conceived as a village of 12 pavilions under a ribbon-like roof, the 60,000-m2 museum offers a modern interpretation of the garden elements that have defined Suzhou's urbanism, architecture, and landscape for centuries. Materialism, curated by BIG, will take visitors on a material odyssey starting from stone and ending with recyclate.
