这是一个用桥梁式的设施连接两座公共建筑的计划,这两座建筑长期以来被中间的道路隔开。该博物馆在技术上为这一地区的通信架起了桥梁。它的功能不仅是两个设施之间的通道,也是一个住宿和工作室,是艺术家驻场项目的理想地点。在这个项目中,我们挑战了一个由小部件组成的结构系统,参考了日本和中国传统建筑中经常使用的悬臂结构。这是一个可持续设计的好例子,因为即使没有大尺寸的材料,你也可以实现一个大的悬臂。

This is a plan to link two public buildings with a bridge-typed facility, which had been long separated by the road in between. The museum technically bridges communications in this area. It functions not only as a passage between the two facilities but also as an accommodation and workshop, ideal location for artist-in-residence programs. In this project, we challenged a structural system which composes of small parts, referring to cantilever structure often employed in traditional architecture in Japan and China. It is a great example of sustainable design, as you can achieve a big cantilever even without large-sized materials.
