Liangzhu Culture Museum by David Chipperfield Architects
David Chipperfield Architects has recently completed the Liangzhu Culture Museum in Liangzhu Cultural Village, China. The museum, which will house a collection of archaeological findings from the Liangzhu culture, forms the northern point of a park characterised by water.
The museum is composed of four bar-formed volumes. These volumes all have the same width of 18 meters but differ in height, emerging as a sculptural form visible from the outside. The courtyards inserted in each volume are a part of the tour route and function as joints, linking the different exhibition halls. To the south of the museum there is an island with an exhibition area, linked to the museum building via a bridge.
Liangzhu Culture Museum may be bordering on unfriendly to me . David Chipperfield famous for his grand designs however I feel that he is little known for residential home design. D C has created some modern designs of homes in Portugal these are clean lined welcoming and take account of the surrounding countryside. The designed homes are modernist in outlook,
