ICONIC
Bright daylight The architects have made the most of the natural light so that the rooms hardly need any lighting during the day. A spiral staircase surrounding a light source gives the building an extra dimension.
Changjiang ART MUSEUM
Vector Architects designed this impressive art museum in Changjiang, a municipality in China’s northern province of Shanxi. Its rapid urbanization in 2016 entirely disrupted the lives of its inhabitants. The museum has both cultural and public functions to meet the community’s needs. The stairs along the building lead to the public outdoor terrace. A pedestrian bridge leads to the northern part of the building.
