As the northwest traffic hub of Chengdu, Pengzhou has noticeably developed its Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Park. More than 90 pharmaceutical enterprises have been attracted to the TCM Park of Pengzhou due to its plantation of herbs. The Museum of TCM proposed by MUDA-Architects, locates in southern area of Pengzhou where the only route leading to the urban area passes by and the TCM Park starts to spread. Due to its dominant location, the museum is required to be designed as a prominent symbol visually and spiritually in order to break the stereotype of expanding the industrial park and promote the industry development in an innovative way. TCM stresses the harmony and correspondence between human and nature. It believes that humanity is a component of the entire nature which is constituted by ‘Yin’ and ‘Yang’ in dualism.
