Kris Yao | Artech has been selected to design the New Taipei City Museum of Art after winning an architectural contest with its “Contemporary Museum of Art among the Reeds” design. The NT$2.17bn (US$68.9m, €60.6m, £44.4m), 44,000sq m (473,600sq ft) development, located in New Taipei, Taiwan, is being funded by local government. Kris Yoa’s winning design will incorporate the site’s historical, cultural and geographical features to form a sustainable vision for the proposed plan.
The development has been designed with integration into the surroundings in mind. At the base of the building, an art street and outdoor sculpture gallery are themed to imitate the cracks of the nearby Da Han River riverbed. The main building is comprised of vertical structural tubes designed to imitate reeds on the outside and has been elevated to offer an impressive exhibition space and provide views of the surrounding river and mountains.
Located between Yinge and Sanisha in New Taipei, the development will incorporate the planned Museum of Contemporary Art, a Children’s Museum of Arts and a multi-functional performance hall. Upon completion in 2019, the facility – along with the nearby Yingge Ceramics Museum – will serve as an international-standard centre for both artists and local residents.
