LIANGZHU CULTURE MUSEUM IN CHINA BY DAVID CHIPPERFIELD ARCHITECTS #Z 4USBUPT #BDBMJT

All ÂŠ is Marchand Theimages building set on a van lake Tonder. and connected via bridges to the park. The sculptural quality of the building ensemble reveals itself gradually as the visitor approaches the museum through the park landscape. Photo by Christian Richters.

The edge areas of the surrounding landscape, planted with dense woods, allow only a few directed views into the park. Photo by Christian Richters.

To the south of the museum is an island with an exhibition area, linked to the main museum building via a bridge. Photo by Christian Richters.

Set on a formerly contaminated industrial site once isolated from the town of Yuhang in Zhejiang Province, the stone-clad Liangzhu Culture Museum provides a contemporary home for an ancient civilisation.
